Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the showpiece to the 2011-12 European season - the Champions League final, between Bayern Munich and Chelsea, in Munich, kicking off at 7.45pm UK time.

Right, I'm signing out now to work up the match report for your pleasure - you can catch me on Tweet-land later as I join my Chelsea-supporting friends for a drink. Tom Adams (@tomEurosport) had no reception from his seat but he's in Munich and will be out and about later, so follow him too. Thank you and goodnight!

Wow. Chelsea are in tears, as are Bayern. Lampard can't believe it, and neither can Roman - he'll have to give Robbie Di Matteo a job now. Well then. John Terry has donned his Chelsea kit and is on the pitch with Drogba and Lampard.

Crazed scenes as Chelsea celebrate, Bayern sink to their knees, Drogba is mobbed! Spurs fans aside, England will celebrate this long into the night - a penalty shoot-out win over the Germans!

BAYERN 3-4 CHELSEA Drogba to win it for Chelsea! Will he win the Champions League with his last kick in a Chelsea shirt? YES! HE'S DONE IT! CHELSEA HAVE WON THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!!!

BAYERN 3-3 CHELSEA Schweinsteiger now for Bayern - and he's missed it! Off the post!

BAYERN 3-3 CHELSEA Ashley Cole to take this one - super kick, right of goal, Neuer guessed right but no chance.

BAYERN 3-2 CHELSEA Olic, who leaves Bayern this summer, with his last kick in their shirt - WHAT A SAVE BY CECH! It was a good penalty but he guessed right and palmed clear!

BAYERN 3-2 CHELSEA Lampard scored his penalty in Moscow as Chelsea crashed out - and he bangs this one into the roof of the net.

BAYERN 3-1 CHELSEA Neuer is to take this one, Joe Hart style - and low past Cech into the bottom left but only just!

BAYERN 2-1 CHELSEA Luiz's turn, the Brazilian defender with a long run-up... top right, boom.

BAYERN 2-0 CHELSEA Gomez for Bayern now - bottom right, no problem.

BAYERN 1-0 CHELSEA The jeers are deafening for Mata as he steps up. SAVED BY NEUER! Weak and straight at him!

BAYERN 1-0 CHELSEA Lahm to open things from the spot here - Casillas saved his pen in the semi... IN! But just - Cech got a hand to it! Lucky Lahm!

Lahm wins the toss and chooses his own end, meaning further delay as they swap. That should help them.

Both sides take a well-earned breather as they prepare to take spot-kicks. Di Matteo is busy deciding who takes what as the ref tosses a coin with Lampard and Lahm. Will Torres take one after his poor couple of years? His recent form has been good.

Well what a night, drama-wise. The second time Chelsea have been taken to a penalty shoot-out in the Champions League final. They lost the last one - but John Terry's not there to miss his kick. Will it be tears of agony or joy for the Blues?

And that, my friends, is that - penalties! Your poor hearts...

Torres with a neat piece of skill to beat one man, and then he fouls Contento needlessly. Harsh booking though. Ah, backchat.

Tymoschuk hits one from range but it strikes Mikel. Then Olic tries and fails to kep it in. Chelsea throw.

Malouda trips Van Buyten, who goes down in agony. Surprised he wasn't booked for that little swing. The ref - notoriously strict - has been medium-lenient tonight.
