Branislav Ivanovic vs. Napoli
It began with Branislav Ivanovic’s goal to defeat Napoli at Stamford Bridge in the round of 16. To even be in the position of heading to extra time was nothing short of amazing, and was the beginning of a magical run for the Blues under Robbie Di Matteo.
Chelsea FC overcame a 3-1 deficit on the road to Napoli in a defeat that saw the end of Andres Villas Boas. He benched the veterans in that match and saw Chelsea FC get humiliated at the hands of the dynamic and aggressive Serie A side. In the second leg it was the veterans that did the heavy lifting and it was Ivanovic that put the finishing touches on the match.
