Chelsea and Barcelona met for the third consecutive season in Champions League when they were drawn into the same group during the 2006/07 season. And even though the stakes here weren't as high as before, it wasn't without its eye-catching moments.

After Drogba secured all three points in the 1-0 win at home, the Catalans began their avenge mission with an early strike from Deco. However, Frank Lampard made it tough when he equalized early in the second-half and did so in one of the most spectacular fashions.

Lampard was wobbly with the looping ball from Claude Makelele as he drove to the byline in attempting to control the ball.

But with Gianluca Zambrotta lurking right behind him, Lampard took a few steps sideways before making an exquisite in-swinging swerve that floated into the back of the net as Victor Valdes couldn't get a hand to it despite stretching out completely.
