Former Chelsea and Bayern Munich midfielder Michael Ballack is backing the German outfit to win the Champions League final on Saturday.

Roberto Di Matteo faces being axed as Chelsea manager, even if he lands owner Roman Abramovich a $250 million-plus windfall by winning the Champions League says Martin Rogers

Are you in Munich then Go all out for your team on uclfinal.com Chelsea FC or FC Bayern? Which’s your team? Let the battle of the Champions become your fight.

There is a statue outside the Chelsea stadium. Inscribed on its plinth are the words: 'Stamford Bridge has many heroes but only one king.' Saturday night presents the chance for someone to achieve the same kind of immortality.

The 'king,' Peter Osgood, captured hearts for his style and manner, and his extraordinary contribution during the 1970 FA Cup triumph. But it was arguably his right-foot shot into the corner of the Real Madrid net in Athens in 1971 that put him on a more rarefied level - it was certainly his favourite strike.

Gianfranco Zola's winner in Stockholm against Stuttgart in 1998 also occupies an indelible place in the collective memory. European finals are exceptional, exotic occasions either way. Has anything hurt as much as defeat in Moscow in 2008?
