Penalties – 3 – 4
FT Bayern Munich 1 – 1 Chelsea
Muller 83 Drogba 88
Bayern dominated the first half, but did not make it count squandering a hatful of chances, with Arjen Robben and Thomas Muller missing the mark far too often.
The pattern continued in the second.
When Thomas Muller finally made it count eight minutes before time, it looked like it was all over for Roberto di Matteo’s men. However, Drogba appeared out of nowhere two minutes before time to head in an equaliser and it was game on.
Chelsea got back in for the next five mnutes, which included three minutes of extra time, and when Drogba sent a free kick into the crowd the game finished 1-1 after normal time.
Three minutes into extra time though, a Drogba foul on Franck Ribery opened the way for a Arjen Robben penalty which was sensationally saved by Petr Cech.
From now onwards, it appeared that the omens were good for Chelsea and that Bayern would rue all those squandered chances, which included that miss by Robben, as well a great one early in the second half of extra time.
Bayern continued to attack, but they just couldn’t get the ball into the back of the net as the game went into a penalty shoot out with that man Drogba sealing the deal.

TEMPLATE COMMENTARY
Nothing about Roberto Di Matteo’s side and how it has managed to get into the Champions League final to meet Bayern Munich has been convincing.
Not the performances, which include a very fortunate defeat of a Barcelona side whose manager was clearly tired of looking at the endless stream of silverware coming his way.
Nor the appearance of his players whose best days are clearly behind them – that includes the once great Drogba as well those players that have for some reason made it into the England squad for the summer’s European Championships.
So, it would take a brave man to bet against a German side that boasts amongst others, the latest Dutch superstar, one Arjen Robben in its ranks.
But Chelsea, have got a momentum, similar to the way Liverpool and Manchester United before them had going for them.
Call it the ‘It’ factor, call it what you like – they have team spirit that will mean they will overcome this Bayern Munich side in Munich to become European Club Champions.
The performance will not please their billionaire owner Roman Abramovich, however that will be an argument for another day – for this is Chelsea’s moment.

A local security official told the AFP news agency that the unmanned aircraft hit a car in the province of Hadramout.
He said the strike had killed two suspected al-Qaeda militants.
The Yemeni army is into the sixth day of an offensive to wrest control of cities in south Yemen from fighters reported to belong to al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
Washington and Yemeni officials deny that drones are being deployed in Yemen.
However, US military specialists are closely involved in the Yemeni government’s campaign against militants.
And there are widespread reports that drones are being used.

“After a careful and deliberative review of the season, the club came to the decision that a change was appropriate.
“Results in the Premier League have been disappointing and we believe to build on the progress that has already been made, we need to make a change.”
With that statement,Kenny Dalglish was no longer manager of Liverpool FC.
Dalglish said his departure had been handled in a “honourable, respectful and dignified way”.
Wigan manager Roberto Martinez and former Reds boss Rafael Benitez are early favourites to fill the vacant position.

European naval forces have conducted their first raid into Somalia, saying they were attacking pirate bases.The attack was carried out overnight and, according to the European forces, no Somalis were hurt during the action.
Multinational forces used helicopters along with two warships to leave five of the pirates’ fast attack craft “inoperable”.
The European naval mission statement said: “The focused, precise and proportionate action was conducted from the air and all forces returned safely to EU warships on completion”.
The operation had been carried out with the full support of the Somali government after extensive surveillance, a spokesman added.
Bile Hussein, a pirate commander, told the Reuters news agency that speed boats, fuel depots and an arms store had been targeted.
“They destroyed our equipment to ashes. It was a key supplies centre for us.”
