Cech - Bayern are favourites

Petr Cech considers Chelsea to be underdogs in the UEFA Champions League final, but believes pressure will weigh heavy on Bayern Munich.

The Blues face the German giants on 19th May, with the biggest prize in European club football up for grabs.

Roberto Di Matteo's side have, in disposing of Barcelona in the semi-finals, already shown that they have what it takes to claim continental glory for the first time in their history.

They will, however, have to see off Bayern on their own patch if they are to get their hands on the trophy, with the final set to be staged at the Allianz Arena.

"It's a final and you would think that the chances are 50-50, but to play at your own stadium and have your own dressing room is a huge advantage," Chelsea keeper Cech told CTK.

"This coincidence of events has made Bayern the favourites. We will try to outsmart them in some way."
