The 2012 UEFA Champions League Final was a football match that took place on Saturday, 19 May 2012 between Bayern Munich of Germany and Chelsea of England at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany.
It was the first Champions League final to be held at the Allianz Arena. As tenants of the Arena, this meant Bayern were the first finalists to have the home advantage since 1984.
As a freelance producer, I made a story of the whole big final doing interviews with the players and coaches. I also went to the Bayern Munich club’s main office on Säbener Straße to shoot the club museum, the training session, and the fan shop.
The match was a real drama. Bayern took the lead late in the second half through Thomas Müller, but Didier Drogba equalised for Chelsea five minutes later to take the game to extra time. There was no goal scored in the extra time and finally, Bayern Munich lost 4-3 on the home soil in penalties to Chelsea.
