I would love to see a match between Bayern and Barca. If that be the final of this years Champions league still better.
For all their beautiful football, this seasons Barca are defensively crippled. With all the injuries they are down to playing Mascherano at CD and Puyol at LB. A Bayern with Ribery/Robben providing width and super Mario as CF will give them a run for their money. But then Barca's midfield and attack is in a diffrent class altogether.

slumbai,
agreed chelsea will find it difficult to over come Barca, but do not underate the German power horses, Bayern ( with gomez, ribery. muller upfront and Lahm behind) Real madrid will have to struggle.

stanislaus: I agree. Munchen r a really dangerous team... But even Real has quality players ( Ronaldo, Benzema, Kaka, Ozil, Ramos, Pepe ).. The important thing for Real is the away game. If they can manage a decent score in munich without conceding too many goals, then Bayern will find the return leg extremely difficult...
I still feel finals will be between Barca and Real Madrid... I would like to see RM lift the trophy for the 10th time, but Barca are a quality side and would give tough time to RM..

Too early to see real in the finals. Dont forget bayern is a very strong team.

Ajit: whar u say is true... But I feel this time RM is a rejuvenated side and they might just spring about a surprise..
I have seen most of their games and I feel RM will go all the way and win the title..

Ebenezer: when chelsea take on barca, the ball possession would be 30% with Chelsea and 70% with Barca.. So we can expect most of the time ball will be in the chelsea area so when u talk of defenders, all of the 11 chelsea players will be busy defending in the entire match.
English teams have neither the quality, speed, talent or guile of a spanish or italian or german teams. Chelsea will be found wanting big time and I would be surprised if they manage to score even a single goal.
