David Luiz, 25, reminisced of watching the final as a youngster and will now fulfil a long-standing ambition by participating in the event this weekend.
“As a young kid, it was my dream and now on Saturday I will hopefully play in the Champions League Final," he told the official Chelsea website.
“All the world stops to watch this game. My mother and father will come to support us and I will be happy to have them."
Despite Chelsea"s four suspended players, including fellow Brazilian Ramires, David Luiz believes his side can still take down Bayern on their home turf.
“For sure, they are important players we are missing, but I know my teammates and we have very good players in the squad," he contested.
“It"s the Champions League Final so of course we are playing against a good team with very good players, and they deserve to be in the final just like we do. It"s a difficult game, the biggest in the world and Bayern will be playing at home in Munich.
“They played against Borussia Dortmund [last weekend], I watched the game, they lost, but they are still a very good team, now they will be angry when they play against us.
“For me it"s special, for the fans it"s special too, it"s the biggest game in the world and I just hope we can win it."
