LIVE: Chelsea Vs. Munich In Champions League Final

Chelsea faces Bayern Munich in the Champions League Final at Allianz Arena, the home grounds for the Bundesliga powerhouse. Of course, the Blues will likely not be overwhelmed by the moment and the unfriendly environs after the shock result at Barcelona in the semifinal round.

While most soccer fans -- as well as the sport's bookmakers -- were expecting this final to feature a pair of teams from Spain, we're instead treated to a matchup between the two relentless, steel-willed clubs who ousted them. However, the victories over Barcelona and Real Madrid were costly for Chelsea and Bayern, respectively. Chelsea will be without Terry, Ramires, Branislav Ivanovic and Raul Meireles through suspension while the home side will take the field without Holger Badstuber, David Alaba and Luiz Gustavo.

Munich is gunning for its fifth European crown while Chelsea is looking for its first, having lost in its first appearance on this stage to Manchester United at penalties in 2008.

Does Chelsea have another miracle left? Can they hold off the Bayern attack without key defenders? Or will Bayern give its hometown something to celebrate tonight?
