Champions League Final | Pre-Match Thread

[Deleted member 87819]

This is a Champions League final. Why would anyone expect the result to be a given or it to be an easy game? It is supposed to be tough. Yes they had an easier path, but they will be worthy opponents — and we shouldn’t have a problem with that. I hope it’s a battle! Let them score first. Let’s equalize at the 90th minute and score the winner at the 94th minute. Make it epic and unforgettable. That would be better than boring
We have every tool to win this game and nothing to fear

If we can stop Mount, Kante, Chilwell & Jorginho from controlling the game would benefit us greatly. I was impressed with Havertz last night - seems like Tuchel is doing a great job.

Its daunting and I'm shitting it - but its a final so we can't expect an easy ride

Mbappe and Haaland a lot more scarier.

Would have preferred Madrid. Chelsea have been in form since Tuchel arrived.

We should never have let him go.

Perhaps play Carson in midfield at weekend & get him to snap both feet off? ;)

Carson's never been good with his feet, he'd probably take our players out

Problem we have is Chelsea posses what we most struggle against. They have amazing pace on the break. This is not going to be a fun watch we will dominate possession but Chelsea will be very dangerous on the counter. They also have the ability to pass through our press. They are fantastic at what they do

whilst we had many first team players absent for the semi they also where missing kovacic who improves them immeasurably.

For me it is simple whoever scores first wins the game. Dreading it already (especially as my dad is a Chelsea fan)

Can I just stress that, whilst Chelsea are good on the break, they aren't in the same league as PSG with Mbappe, Neymar and Di Maria - who didn't manage a shot on target for around 150 consecutive minutes of football against us.
