Assalamualaikum & haluuu!
Finally, after almost 3 year (gosh!) baru sambung cerita our trip to Munich, Germany. Pheww! Road to UEFA 2012 Champions League Final. For previous entry, boleh klik links kat bawah ni.
Husband is Chelsea FC diehard fan. So being given the opportunity to watch the final match at the stadium before his very eyes were like a dream comes true. An addition to that, the final ticket was sponsored. Bless! Alhamdulillah.
Ok, let's we go back to 19th May 2012. Shall we? Hehe. Kami sampai di hotel selepas berjalan-jalan melawat Olympia Park. Berehat, solat dan bersiap untuk ke Allianz Arena for the final. Dari hotel kami berjalan ke Hauptbahnhof (Central Station) untuk menaiki tren. Untuk ke Allianz Arena, kami perlu menaiki U-bahn dari stesen Marienplatz.
Memandangkan kami keluar agak awal, suami ajak melawat Marienplatz sekali lagi. Masa ni meriah dengan penyokong-penyokong Chelsea dan Bayern Munich. Biru dan merah memenuhi dataran Marienplatz. Suasana meriah dengan suara chant masing-masing. Seronok dapat join the crowd. Hehe.
Then, masa untuk ke Allianz Arena. From the Marienplatz, we took the U-Bahn’s northbound U6 line toward Frottmaning. It took about 20 minutes till we reached the station. Semasa dalam train, there was one kind lady bagitahu kami untuk turun di stesen mana. Dia tau kami nak ke stadium dari baju official Munich Final 2012 yang kami pakai la tu. Haha. Dari situ kami berjalan menuju ke stadium. Sampai di stadium, orang masih belum ramai. Saja kami sampai awal. Excited kan. Haha. Bergambar sekitar Allianz Arena.
Masa tengah lepak kat stadium, we met new friends. Three of them are from Berlin. They came for the final, of course! Hehe. But only one of them got the ticket. So the other two bodek kami untuk jual tiket kat diorang. Sanggup bayar 500 Euro for one ticket! Try convert to RM tengokk. Fuhh. Tapi for sure la kami takkan jual. We came all the way from Malaysia sebab nak tengok final tau. So we turn down the offer. Sorry guys!

Inilah dua orang yang tak dapat tiket tu. Kesian. |
|
Suami sempat tidoq. |
After few hours melepak kat luar stadium, gates dibuka dan semua boleh masuk. Suami paling excited. Sumpah muka dia excited gila. Haha. Kami masuk dan duduk di tempat wakil Media. Kat situ boleh dikatakan tempat untuk pemenang-pemenang contest dari merata negara. And we met this one guy from Amsterdam. Sangat friendly. And Chelsea fan jugak. Hehe. Sementara menunggu final match mula, suami tiba-tiba excited dan suruh ambil gambar dia dengan someone yang lalu kat situ. Rupanya Ruud Gullit! Dalam tengah excited tu, terlepas Micheal Ballack! Ruginyaaa. Dapat ambil gambar dari jauh jelaa. Rugiiiii.

Excited! |

Micheal Ballack. |

Micheal Ballack again. |
The final match has started. Lain betul perasaannya tengok live dua-dua team ni depan mata. Selalu tengok kat TV jek. It’s really an unforgettable moments for both of us. Hehe. As we all know, Chelsea won the final match. It was their second time in UEFA Final. They lost the first time in 2008. Kira ini kali pertama Chelsea menang UEFA Champions League Cup and we were there to witness that moment. Husband said we were part of the history. Haha. Still teringat lagi masa Didier Drogba score equaliser goal dalam minit-minit terakhir sebelum perlawanan tamat. Seronok gila penyokong Chelsea masa tu. Then extra time pun still 1-1 sebab Arjen Robben terlepas penalty. Akhirnya, the match went to a penalty shoot-out. Berdebar jangan cakap lah. Siap tutup muka taknak tengok. Didier Drogba took the last penalty kick and scored! Chelsea won 4-3. Woohoo!! Kenangan, kenangan. Hehe.

Tempat duduk kami berhampiran dengan tempat duduk penyokong Chelsea. |
|
Muka terharu sebab Chelsea menang. Hehe. |
|
Chelsea players celebrate their winning trophy.

|
Dream came true. |

Allianz Arena, Munchen. |
After all the celebrations and singings and chanting, we walked to the train station and back to the hotel. It was the happiest night for the Chelsea fans but not to the Bayern Munich fans. Itulah adat pertandingan. Ada yang menang, ada yang kalah. Life must goes on. Sampai bilik hotel, kami masih tidak dapat melelapkan mata. Adrenaline rush mungkin. Hehe. Entah pukul berapa kami tertidur. Yang pasti suami tidur dalam senyuman. Hahaha.
Next entry will be the last part of our Munich, Germany trip. Stay tune! Thanks for reading!
