Bastian Schweinsteiger believes that Chelsea won't be able to score past Manuel Neur in the Champions League final.

Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has started the mind games with Chelsea, insisting that they won't be able to beat goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

The Blues face the German outfit in the Champions League final on Saturday and are looking to win the competition for the first time in their history.

However, Schweinsteiger is adamant that the Londoners won't be able to beat a German club, especially if it comes down to a penalty shootout.

"It is not just during a shootout that Manuel will give us an advantage, it is during the game. It is not easy to win on penalties against a German team," said Schweinsteiger.

"Those players like [Frank] Lampard, [Didier] Drogba, [Ashley] Cole and [Michael] Essien, who were in Moscow for the final, will have extra motivation.

"They will be the most dangerous, they know maybe it is their last chance to try and win it."

The game kicks off at 6pm (GMT) at the Allianz Arena on Saturday.
