This may well be the biggest game in the career of Cesc Fabregas to date, glittering as his time in football has been. When he left the Emirates for Barcelona last summer it was clear the presence of his boyhood hero, Pep Guardiola was key to his decision, and one year on Pep is leaving and the trophy cabinet has collected a tiny sheen of dust.
Now is the last chance Cesc will get to win for Guardiola, and of course the presence of 21 other world class footballers on the pitch will make this a fantastic spectacle for and lover of the game.

Bayern Munich host Chelsea on Saturday 19th May, 2012, with kickoff at 19:45. This match is currently being shown LIVE on Sky Sports 1.
It’s fair to say that since he arrived at the club with a large bag of money, Roman Abramovich has focussed a lot of effort on winning this competition, and the loss to United in the 2008 final is the closest he’s been so far. For Roberto di Matteo and his team the challenge is arguably greater this time, but the desire is no less and the victory over Barcelona will make them believe this is possible.
Bayern are a fantastic watch, with Robben and Ribery, Gomez and Lahm all there to entertain, and this could be one of the best finals in recent times.
