The regular football season is coming to an end with the last games just around the corner, but one of the pinnacle tournaments has managed to keep the fire alight through all the controversy and electricity that has surged through Europe. Whilst seasons seem to end with a fizzle, the UEFA Champions League final ends with a bang. Each year clubs from all over Europe compete to be crowned champions of Europe and this year seems no different from any other in terms of potential for a mesmerising and exciting game of football between two powerhouses in modern day sport.
The final will be played in Munich, Germany at the Allianz Arena, fittingly the home ground of one of the final competitors for the competition. The event which will take place on the 19th of May, on a Saturday night will be fought between German giants Bayern Munich against English king slayers Chelsea FC. Both teams have managed to fight valiantly to make their way to the final of this prestigious event, surpassing some insurmountable odds in the form of extremely revered Spanish teams FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. The depth and perseverance of Chelsea and Bayern Munich has not only pushed them forward to the final but also helped to produce some exemplary football in the process.
Bayern Munich had been an impressive team from the start, with a seemingly easy knock out stage until they reached the semi-finals against the feared Real Madrid. A valiant effort went into the two legs of the semi-finals to see Bayern Munich clinch it in the 2nd leg via a penalty shootout, much to the struggle of Real Madrid. Despite the huge support for the Spanish royalty, Bayern’s win was well deserved to help them to their home dream final.
On the other end of the respective table was Chelsea FC who also had a similar test until the semi-final, tough comparatively harder as they had to face Napoli and Benfica, two very strong European clubs playing top quality football. The real challenge came against former champions FC Barcelona, known worldwide for their world class football and breaking the record books in the past decade. Putting all their strength to the test, Chelsea managed to park the bus and survive 3-2 overall over two fierce legs, helping them get their revenge from 2009 and also guide them to their dream final.
