There was a sense of shock when Chelsea and
Bayern Munich, against the odds, both progressed to the Champions League
final at the expense of their more fancied opponents. Barcelona and
Real Madrid were unsurprisingly red-hot favourites to stage a Clasico
decider, with some even going as far as to say that the blockbuster
clash was already in the bag.
Uefa president Michel Platini had admitted in early March that a meeting between Barca and Real would make a great final, but after Chelsea's resilient defending forced the Catalans out and Bayern sunk Los Blancos in a penalty shoot-out, the Frenchman will have to redecorate the Champions League trophy ahead of the May 19 final at the Allianz Arena.
