Didier Drogba Penalty Evokes Memories Of Champions League Final
Chelsea FC striker Didier Drogba does what he does best yesterday against Maribor, he scored a goal. This goal was a bit different than most as it came from the penalty spot and it was his first goal since returning to Chelsea FC. The image of Drogba lining up to take a penalty brought back amazing memories for Chelsea FC fans of that magical night in Munich.
In fact, the penalty and direction in which Drogba scored was nearly identical to the one in the Champions League Final but of course with significantly less importance. Chelsea fans around the world chimed in to reminisce about that special moment and the feeling they had when Drogba stroked home the penalty last night.
1 - Didier Drogba has scored his first @chelseafc goal since his return, with his last goal coming in the 2012 Champions League final. Hero.

Didier Drogba's last Chelsea goal prior to tonight was also a penalty... One which needs no explaining. pic.twitter.com/aXgZ7IBpKc
