Chelsea FC: My Top 5 Most Memorable Moments
2. We are European Champions: Bayern Munich 1-1 Chelsea FC (Chelsea win 4-3 on penalties) (2011-12)
We suffered bad days but always with a hope that the good ones are yet to come. And the good days came indeed. Chelsea lifted the long awaited European crown after defeating Bayern Munich at their own backyard and that too with a winning Didier Drogba penalty. We went into the game as underdogs as we have been considered in many occasions that season. Our hearts trembled as we saw Muller head Bayern into the lead at 83 minutes.
All hope seemed to be lost, when our King out of nowhere headed the ball past Nueur to equalize at the end. I don’t know if God was on our side that day, but even after a bad start to a penalty shootout with Mata missing the first one, Drogba lashed the ball home in front of a taunting Bayern crowd to crown Chelsea as the best club in Europe. We faced massive criticism because of the tactics we applied in the game, but we know how it felt and we will treasure it forever.
