Kids all over the world dream of playing in the Champions League final, and David Luiz is no different.
Luiz looks set to recover from a hamstring injury in time to line up for Chelsea against Bayern Munich on Saturday, fulfilling a long-held ambition for the Brazil defender.
Luiz says ''when I was a kid in Brazil, it was my dream and now I get my chance to play in the Champions League final.''
With captain John Terry and Branislav Ivanovic suspended, Chelsea coach Roberto Di Matteo is hoping Luiz and Cahill both recover from injury to fill gaps in his defense.
