I now think its when Bayern will score, not if. Chelsea looking very pressured.

 

[Emptyone]

Indeed, it's all Munich, the numbers of corners are stacking up, and Chelsea aren't looking too happy at the back. Relentless pressure on Chelsea once again. Counter attacking goal seems the only way for them, if they concede not sure they can mount a concerted effort to score. Worrying so far.

Chelsea could do like they did against Barca and soak up all the pressure and score on the break...

At the moment it seems like their only viable option, as Bayern are camped in the Chelsea half. 0-0 at halftime would be good for Chelsea at this rate.

 

[Dennisch]

Chelsea is coming back, a little, but here we go!

Totally failed free kick.

 

[mattythedog]

That's better from Chelsea!

 

[C-ZETA]

Bayern's finishing has been absolutely sickening. So many chances, yet no goals.

Im with Bayern. Its not my favourite team but it sure has the best football of this competition this year:tup:.

 

[Emptyone]

Chelsea can be happy with that first half. They may have got bossed for 30 minutes, but have grown into the game a little more, which is encouraging. Gomez should have scored for bayern though, they should be up at least by one. At this rate i can see Chelsea sneaking one it towards the end, but the defense is worrying.

 

[TyrrellRacing]

Only Chelsea fan in this thread by the looks of it. First half went as expected, relentless Bayern pressure and a smattering of Chelsea chances. Spiderman Kalou looking poor as usual. Not sure if you foreigners are aware but Bertrand hasn't played a single minute of European football until today.

Kommon zu Chelsea, Bayern ist das schreklich /awful German.

 

[Liquid]

Yes, yes it was awful German. But no harm in trying, good effort!

Interesting half. If the second half plays out like the first half, Chelsea will squeeze a goal on the break. Good defending, Mata has done okay, the potential is there. But, Bayern are creating all the chances. You would say it's only a matter of time until they score.

 

[mattythedog]

Offside goal from Bayern! So close to taking the lead!

 

[Emptyone]

Ribery sticks it in the net ... Offside though. Pressure mounting on Chelsea, but the games still fairly open

 

[Dennisch]

It's not a bad game at all, but I wish that Chelsea would be a bitter stronger. The Bayern goalie didn't have to do a lot.

 

[Lucas]

I'm with Bayern on this one. I've heard rumours that Drogba and Lampard are River Plate sympathizers, though that is not enough for me to support Chelsea.

 

[Dennisch]

16th corner kick for Bayern. 0 for Chelsea. 68th minute.

 

[mattythedog]

Ashley Cole is having a blinder! Countless great tackles from him.

 

[Dennisch]

Incredible how many chances have been wasted by Bayern.

 

[C-ZETA]

Dear Bayern,

Please, for the love of the Champions League trophy, stop capsizing in the box now.

Yours truly, C-ZETA

 

[Lucas]

If this match ends 0-0 before going into penalties, I will be pretty pissed.

 

[Dennisch]

Penalties can be exciting, but only after a match where both teams have plenty of scoring chances.

 

[mattythedog]

Bayern Score! Surely that's the win!

 

[Dennisch]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH Tomas Muller!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[Lucas]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL Bayern!!!

 

[Wiegert]

Muller scores just seconds after his previous attempt was blocked.

 

[C-ZETA]

Seems like they got my message then.

 

[Emptyone]

Muller scores, 1-0 to Bayern. All to do for Chelsea now ...

 

[Dennisch]

Oh No, the scoring monster from Chelsea has arrived. Torres.

 

[Wiegert]

I was going to say just a moment before Muller scored that with Bayern having 23 attempts on goal, and Chelsea with only 5, we shouldn't have long to wait before it finally happens.

Lo and behold...




And then Chelsea score! Drogba in the dying minutes!

 

[Liquid]

That's a cheeky header from Mueller. Cech didn't know which direction to block; up or down.

Weiter, weiter du Bayern!
