Bayern for me. With the final being held in munich, losing the final only a couple of years ago, i just think they'll turn up and really perform on the day. The suspensions will IMO have a bigger effect on chelsea, terry is massive blow. Bayern have a better build up to the final as well in terms of their ability to rest players.

The search for the holy grail will go on IMO.

Chelsea are missing much bigger key players than Munich are, Ramires and Ivanovic are massive blows for a game like that. I think Chelsea's bubble will burst in the final, finally!

I was at that game, around Feb 2005? It was bloody freezing too!

Never seen a replay of the Pepe pen, but I thought he was lucky to stay on the pitch.

Never seen the game barring twenty minutes. So glad Bayern have won. I hate Mourinho, I don't really like his Madrid team and I don't really like Madrid as a club.

Bayern win in the final for me, anything less than 5-0 and I'll be disappointed.

A bad result for Chelsea. Its easy to associate Bayern solely with teutonic efficiency, but technically they're a very good team. They should be able to match Chelsea physically and, with the players available, have better quality. I could see what Chelsea's gameplan would have been against RM but cant see how they're going to gain an edge against Bayern.

I'm hoping for a Bayern win. I dont have anything against Chelsea, now that Terry's not playing, but a Bayern win will give a veneer of respectability to City's CL campaign and, if Newcastle finish 4th, might make the difference as to whether we're in Pot 2 or Pot 3 in next seasons CL draw

To be fair to him he had shook hands and embraced Heynckes at the end of extra time.
Bayern were excellent last night. Better than I thought they would be.
Can't see Chelsea's 10 man defence holding out against them but it's a one-off match and anything could happen so will not rule out a Chelsea win.

Quick question....which European capital cities have had European Champions League or European Cup winners? Hint - there aren't many...
