Marin makes Chelsea prediction

Chelsea's German new boy Marko Marin has backed them to beat Bayern Munich in Saturday's Champions League final.

Marin was confident the Blues' "better players" would expose Bayern's defence at the Allianz Arena. The 23-year-old playmaker, who will join Chelsea from Werder Bremen this summer, watched Bayern being thrashed 5-2 by Borussia Dortmund in last weekend's DFB-Pokal final. Asked if their defence was weak, he told BBC Sport: "Yes. I watched the German cup final. They made big errors. Chelsea have better players and will do well if they play offensively." Marin added: "I think (Chelsea) will win at the weekend. "Bayern did a very good job against Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final, but they did not do well in the cup final."
