Moscow seems a long time ago now as the ghost of 2008 was buried by a penalty shoot-out win for the Blues. Bayern Munich took the lead after 82 minutes of a game they dominated in the face of some high-class Chelsea defending, but showing the resilience yet again that had taken us all this way to Munich, Didier Drogba netted his ninth goal in nine cup finals with two minutes left to play.

Cech then saved a penalty in extra-time so 10 more had to be taken to determine the destiny of the European Cup. Juan Mata failed with Chelsea's first but Cech saved one and Bastian Schweinsteiger struck woodwork Drogba stepped up to win the competition for the first time for a London club.
