Chelsea’s Czech shot stopper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Petr-Cech-c29837 has admitted that Bayern Munich will be the favourites to win the UEFA Champions League final that they will have the advantage of not only playing at their home stadium but also preparing
for the match in their home dressing room. Bayern Munich and Chelsea are set to meet each other at the Allianz Arena in Munich on the 19th of May, 2012 in the pen-ultimate match of the UEFA Champions League competition.
Chelsea secured their place in the final by winning against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 over the two legs in the semi-final, a feat that cannot be downplayed by any stretch of the imagination. On the other hand, Bayern Munich made hard work of Real
Madrid as the Spanish champions were knocked out of the tournament by the Bavarian powerhouses via a penalty shootout at the Santiago Bernabeau stadium.
Cech said, "It's a final and you would think that the chances are 50-50, but to play at your own stadium and have your own dressing room is a huge advantage. This coincidence of events has made Bayern the favourites. We will try
to outsmart them in some way. The final is about how the two teams cope with the pressure.
He added, “They are the favourites as they play at home but the pressure is bigger on them than it is on us. That might be to our advantage, it might be a disadvantage. We will have to wait and see how the match goes. Either way,
we will try to make their role as favourites as unpleasant as possible. Certainly we are not going there just on a trip. We want to win."
