What, did you want them to change the location of the CL finals on short notice because the home team happened to make it?

Yes they now made it a rule has to be a back up venue because the ticket distribution was 99.9% Bayern fans was a joke. Due to how the final ticket scheme works.


Bayern best players are Renato and Rodriguez though, looked extremely good. The German kids that came out at the end were very shite lol. Just fouled and fouled and fouled some more. Then had cheek to moan and kick ball away!

You got a source for any of that or is this trademark Chelsea whining?

Yes go look at how tickets are distributed its;
30% - 30% to both teams then 40% of the tickets are left to go on general sale to "uefa scheme" aka all local fans which happen to be Bayern...

You just saying that isn't a reliable source, except for Chelsea whining.
I'm really interested especially about that final backup location rule change, surely you will be able to find an article about that...

European football's governing body said that 41,500 tickets for the Cardiff final would be available for fans and the general public, with the two finalists set to receive 18,000 each to distribute to their fans and a further 5,500 will be offered for sale to fans worldwide through UEFA's website.


That means that a nice 24,500 plus 5,500 are UEFA's to distribute how they want to; "local" fans via the UEFA scheme and the rest are distributed out as UEFA want to. It was the same in the Allianz but it was even smaller at 75,000 and Chelsea recived 17,500 tickets and Bayern 17,500 with the rest divided up to UEFA scheme and corporate crap. Which is why 90% of Chelsea fans where in the old Olympic park bit outside

Bayern wish Pande really would be an English manager. They would love nothing more than finding some English club, where they could dump this dead weight kid....

He was the best player on the pitch in the midfield? He broke up many of the plays Chelsea had, was always involved in dropping in and filling holes. Was having way more influence than Cesc did on the ball as well. I can't honestly say i know who was playing alongside him lets put it that way and that is the reason Bayern were so strong in the first half because it was 3vs2 in the midfield. Muller Renato plus 1.

That definitely was one of Sanches' best games for Bayern. Granted it's a worthless pre-season game, but it's something. His first year at Bayern was atrocious, small steps would be a start already if he wants to stay at Bayern/they want to keep him.

Bayern is Real's PL club in James' case.

One of you was drunk. Either you or Renato I did not see the game and I reckon miracles happen but it would be strange that after one year without playing he would be capable of doing something that he was only able to do against the medíocre teams in our league.

Ay my opinion of batman still hasn't changed. Not convinced that he will turn out good for Chelsea, and he has been given many chances. Yea he scores when we dominate games, but when the game is tough, he often has zero impact. He can't hold the ball, can't dribble. All he does is control the ball and flick it to someone immediately because he is not strong enough. I don't see him as someone who you can rely on to perform.

Morata looks class though.

And Chelsea definitely was missing Luiz in defence. I think he is an integral part of it due to his aggressive movements. Christensen feels too static to my liking, so definitely not a replacement for Luiz. Maybe take over from Cahill? I think Zouma would be the long term replacement for Luiz instead.

Batshuayi is very good, probably not good enough to be a starter for a C1 contender but good enough to be a squad player or the main forward of a middle European team. And he was not given a chance, 7 starts spread over 10 months is not enough.

That doesn't really have anything to do with what you claimed: that there's a backup venue in case of the home team winning through. Pretty sure the backup venue is there in case of some shit hitting the fan and the match not being playable in the chosen stadium. The "home" team making it to the finals shouldn't cause a change of venue. It's like complaining that Brazilian fans outnumbered the other teams' fans during the last world cup. Yes. Duh?

Yes the world cup is different though as it is internationally done that way. The European Cup venue changes to take it around Europe and it is also not England's fault that the home of one of the club's has the "national stadium".
In England you don't get the problem, same with Wales just, the national stadiums are not affiliated with any club (ok this year Spurs is at Wembley but that is only temporary, Chelsea will be next year too but still )
There was a huge hoo hah about it in the build up and aftermath of the 2012 Cup because Bayern fans got all the extra tickets plus obviously they were swindling there way into the corporate ticket availability as well, you only have to go look at the game again to see it is basically a home game with Chelsea away fans, there was 0 noise when Chelsea scored the equalizer, you could probably here the fans out in the Olympic square or whatever it was instead as that is where we all were.

Now i can't find conformation of it but hopefully it comes up again soon/one day so we can see.

You can't find confirmation because there was no decision to have a backup venue ready. And the only place that had controversy about Bayern hosting was in England, because well... Chelsea whining.
