Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel hopes to make up tomorrow for missing out on the 2008 Champions League final.<br /><br />The Nigeria international is expecting to start in Munich.<br /><br />He told the London Evening Standard: &ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t get to play in the final four years ago and hopefully I will this time. It was hard watching it from the sidelines but I have stayed injury free and hopefully I will be in the team on Saturday.<br /><br />&ldquo;What has happened to us this season and for us to get to the Champions League Final shows the character and determination in this team.<br /><br />&ldquo;Everyone has been writing us off but we as players and individuals know what we do for a living. Every season you&rsquo;re going to have ups and downs.<br /><br />&ldquo;Everyone keeps saying how old we all are but players like [Frank] Lampard, Ashley [Cole] and Didier [Drogba] keep going and fighting for this team and hopefully we will end this season doing something great.<br /><br />&ldquo;In a way we deserve the Champions League trophy because of all the hard work we have put in but Bayern are a very good team.&rdquo;<br /><br />(Source: Tribalfootball.com)<br />
