Bayern Munich vs. Chelsea: 3 Reasons This Will Be Best Match of the Year

Tournament finals are meant to be great theater. Saturday's UEFA Champions League Final between Bayern Munich and Chelsea will provide that unbelievable theater fans expect.

Saturday's final will be the match of the year in the Champions League. Here's why:


Two Deserving Teams

Say what you want about how these teams finished in their respective league. Both have earned the opportunity to fight for the UEFA Champions League crown.

Both defeated quality competition, remained consistent throughout and provided fans with memories that will last a lifetime.

When you have a final of a tournament, you want to see the two most deserving teams play. They didn't make it this far for nothing.


Intriguing Storylines

Can Chelsea actually pull this off? After finishing a disappointing sixth in the English Premier League, could Chelsea really continue to play well outside of their own league?

It's possible.

If they can defeat Barcelona by receiving a clinching goal from Fernando Torres, anything is possible.

Another storyline is the fact that Bayern Munich is playing in Munich, Germany. Even though ticket sales were supposed to be divided somewhat evenly, I'm expecting there to be many more Bayern fans.

Arjen Robben playing against his former club is another storyline to watch. He doesn't get the recognition he deserves, but this stage is set for him to take claim as one of the more talented players in the world.

How will Chelsea's defense handle the potent offense of Munich? Just another area to watch.


UEFA Champions League Final

There aren't too many games bigger than the UEFA Champions League Final. Usually, the final consists of two powerhouse teams from power leagues. And we have exactly that.

We have the premier giant from Germany against one of the top clubs of England. What else could you ask for?
