Champions League Final! Place yer bets!

Egan · 05-19-12, 01:40 PM

Yes folks! It's that time again! The European Champions League Final, the Mighty Bayern Munich versus Chelsea. We all expected a Real v Barca final but it didn't happen, Barca's tippy tappy technical style being bested by the plucky English side and real coming off worse once again to the German boys who have often seemed like their bogey team in European competition.

So, who's going to win? My mate's boyfriend has a nice accumulator going on Munich. If they win, he gets 80 quid. If they win and Ribery scores the first goal, he gets a tasty 700! (He's got form on this too, his last football Accumulator netted him three and a half grand.) I'm backing Munich, I think (being a Spurs fan I just can't face supporting Chelsea.) Munich are playing at home tonight - I think this is the first time in the history of the modern competition a finalist is playing in their own stadium - so advantage to them on that front.

But here's the thing: For a lot of Chelsea players this might well be their last chance to win the biggest trophy in club football, and added to the fact that their stand in coach has done pretty well since Villas Boas got dumped.

So, the sun is shining for what feels like the first time this spring, they're getting ready to play that theme music - place your bets! Who is the winner going to be?

I love football, me.

Hate Chelsea. Go Munich.

Yamamoto...

No...wait...

Well, I only liked Chelski when the Special One was in charge, so whoever wins I'm not so fussed.
