Chelsea look weap up front this year. They really need Willian and Eto'o to settle in quickly because Torres looks so poor.

Chelsea to scrape it 1-0

2-1 Bayern me thinks.

I recon Lampard will be MOTM since he is the best center midfielder in the world.

I can see either Bayern winning this at a canter or Chelsea spoiling their way to a 1-0 win.

Not a fan of Philip Lahm as a central midfielder, nor the formation Guardiola has started to use at Bayern, just think it's unnecessarily "clever", I think Guardiola is trying to cement his legacy as an innovator. 

Really surprised that Terry has been dropped and that there is no Mata, I know it's not a big match technically but it would be a great start for Jose to win it, especially against Bayern. No De Bruyne at all, could he be off on loan?

Also why on earth is Gus Poyet so popular as a pundit, seems to be on every channel at the moment despite being difficult to understand and not even being a very interesting or intelligent pundit. Please somebody hire him as a manager.

Left out for Man Utd, and this game, despite getting a week off thanks to no international call up.

Looks very much like Jose will recreate his United tactics and look to play on the break while setting up shop.

You'd have thought Barcelona would be all over that, although I suppose it depends on how much they have to spend after the Neymar deal, I know they tend to only have one big signing in them every year.

Can't see Chelsea selling to anybody else in the Premier League if they do sell, PSG are an option. 

I can't comprehend it though, Mata is a better player than any of Chelsea's other options in his positions, probably one of the top 3 players in the Premier League as well. Can't get my head around it at all.

I'd have thought he'd be ahead of Sanchez on the right of the front three for Barcelona.

I'm still a bit gutted that Guardiola is at Bayern, they were such a good team last year and I loved the way they played, with two of probably the best pivots in football with some pacy, great wingers, Muller/Kroos etc. Now they're going to be sucked in by Guardiola's need to change and chop things and play odd formations to prove his intelligence. 

I can see his reign being a disaster. Just don't think the German efficiency will mould well with his Spanish flair.

I agree, ITV very rarely have good pundits. I like Lee Dixon but that's about it. I know a lot of people criticise the BBC, but I think they do have the better pundits and think Alan Shearer has got better and better every year. Would rather BBC had more football, but it's hard to compete financially.

That may be the case, but would rather he'd returned to Barcelona than taken over Bayern. Don't like his need to tinker and create odd formations, such as the one he's playing today or where he played extremely odd ones at Barcelona. Also don't like the fact that he tries to turn quality midfielders into centre backs such as Mascherano, likely Martinez...he tried to turn Yaya Toure into one!

Much prefer Mourinho ruthless efficiency to Guardiola's tinkering. Bayern were probably the perfect football team for me last year, I'm not sure he'll be able to recreate that with his changes.

Hoping for a high-scoring game. Can see Chelsea shutting up shop now though and Bayern struggling to break them down.

Would like to see Guardiola take over at an AC Milan or another sleeping giant like that and try and raise them from the ashes. Then he can innovate.

Torres always seems to have one or two moments of brilliance every year but then just disappoints by not being consistent enough.

Chelsea defending excellently at the moment, and their organisation is first-rate. They also look incredibly dangerous on the counter - Torres in particular seems to have a new lease of life, and Schurrle is doing very well. Jose has set Chelsea up perfectly tonight. Bayern are just being restricted to speculative efforts thus far.

Problem with how Chelsea have approached the game is that they got the early goal and sat back and allowed Bayern to control the game, it then becomes very difficult to actually get a foothold in the game once Bayern get an equaliser. 

Relying on defensive mistakes and quick breaks but at this point the pace and acceleration of the Chelsea players isn't quite there to be able to break with the same ferocity as early in the game.

Really surprised Mourinho hasn't made any changes, you'd think neither manager will want this going to extra time.

I'm less thinking tiredness and more injuries. I know Chelsea have a big squad, but I can't imagine they'd be happy with any of their players getting injured. The longer they're on the pitch the more likely they'll be injured.

Liverpool won this via ET and pens in 05 if I remember correctly.

Just the ET was needed. Must have dreamt the pens Laugh
