Chelsea defender David Luiz praises Bayern opponents

David Luiz, 25, believes Chelsea are in for a tough test on Saturday, against a Bayern side brimming with quality and experience.

The Brazilian does though think that the absence of fellow-Seleção play Luiz Gustavo will play into Chelsea's hands, as it will limit Bayern's defensive cover.

"The Bayern players are all very experienced. It is little wonder that they eliminated Real Madrid when they have these three up-front, Ribery, Robben and Mario Gomez, who are all exceptional," the Chelsea defender told Globo Esporte.

"I see a whole team who are very capable. With Lahm, who has played for many years and is captain, and Schweinsteiger, I'm passionate about his football... 

"Luckily for us, Luiz Gustavo will not play, because he gives a consistency and a great protection for the trio up-front. 

"They are a great club that deserve to be in this final and when in a Champions League final, you cannot choose your opponent."
