personally think it is a foregone conclusion that the match will be abandoned when a giant sinkhole opens up and swallows the Estádio do Dragão as the players warm up .
No. Chelsea are a decent outfit with a good manager who has been here before. I would make Citeh slight favourites but that means little. If one side was going to score 3 or 4 goals I could only see Citeh doing that to Chelsea and not the other way around, but Chelsea have players who can open Citeh up. I don't want Citeh winning a CL ideally so a Chelsea victory please, not much of a choice mind.
@Zanjinho how come you would prefer City to win? I don't want either, but feel a City win will open the door for them to have continued European success. Having said that I just can't see Chelsea winning the game
City by 2. Chelsea to implode under high pressure press and inability to shoot straight. The only qualifier is sterling bottling it and not running. If he doesn't start city should win this well.
Yup. I think he wont start so city will over run the Chelsea team.who will try be very compact and have 5 at the back
Genius. Pep has only gone and done it again. Chelsea 1-0. Sterling starts no Rodriguez or fernandinho. Debruyne false.9?? I'd laugh heartily if they've blown it already
Interesting line up from city. Surprised no cancello, Fernandinho or rodri. Anyone else found the stuff about city climbing the ladder from div 2 to CL final etc... like yeah they’ve spent about 2 billion in fees in last 10 years, pretty sure most teams would have got there before then spending that kind of money
Totally agree, this is fed to us as some sort of romantic notion that it could happen to any club. Horseshit. #oilclub
Well, I hope it's a good final with lots of drama ... prefer it if it wasn't happening at all since it's these two teams, but it is, so hopefully it's not a borefest and there are plenty of goals and maybe controversy
Also twenty years since they're were last in the championship, 22yrs since they were in the third tier.
It's nice for their fans that still turned out to support then in the second and third tier, they deserve the joys they're getting. But yeah, the journey isn't a fairy tale, if anything it's taken far too long considering the financial input. They should be on two or three by now with the money they've spent!
