Philipp “I Keep My Cool at All Times” Lahm, the Bayern Munich captain, said his team’s loss to Inter Milan in the Champions League final two years ago is instructive.
“That defeat in 2010 has had a big influence,” Lahm said, according to The Guardian. “We have a lot of players still here who were with us two years ago and we all remember that experience. But a team also grows through defeats and setbacks. I don’t think the belief we had two years ago was as big as the belief we have now that it can be our year, our trophy. We believe we can win the title more this time around.”

Has that confidence taken a hit after a 5-2 thrashing in the German Cup final last Saturday by Borussia Dortmund? “At the moment, perhaps humility is not the worst,” Uli Hoeness, the Bayern Munich president told Sueddeutsche Zeitung in Germany.

His team lost to Inter Milan.Lahm’s teammate, Franck Ribery, is succinct when discussing the challenge posed by Chelsea, a compact, stingy and experienced side. “This is probably the worst game ever,” he told Kicker magazine in Germany. Still, he is not without belief. “We are much better now than in 2010,” the French midfielder said. “We are much more relaxed, we have less pressure. We have more fun playing.”
Chelsea’s bitter loss in a penalty shootout to rival Manchester United in Moscow in 2008 doesn’t provide many lessons for Didier Drogba.
“You know, I do not like to speak about the past,” the Chelsea striker told FIFA.com this week. “I think it is not good. We have a great moment here, and I can speak about Bayern Munich and the Champions League final on Saturday, but I prefer not to worry about what happened four years ago.”
It’s no wonder Drogba wants to forget that rain-soaked night in Moscow. He was sent off near the end of that match and was unable to participate in the penalty shootout. John Terry took his turn, with disastrous results.
“After Moscow, we thought that we were going to get to the final the next year,” Drogba said. “But that’s Champions League – it’s very difficult to reach the final and I think it shows how much we deserve to be there today.”
