Didier Drogba Tribute, The Chelsea and Cote D'Ivoire Legend

Champions League winner

The 2010/11 season, despite running Manchester United close for the title, was otherwise not successful for Drogba nor Chelsea.

However, Chelsea's league form in the following campaign was poor. They finished 6th, with them losing manager Ancelotti, and a poor start under new boss Andre Villas-Boas. Villas-Boas was dismissed later in the campaign, and club legend Roberto di Matteo took over as caretaker manager. This proved a sound move by the club's hierarchy and resulted in a stellar and ever-memorable season's end for the West London club and by extension Drogba.

They won the FA Cup again, defeating Liverpool 2-1 at Wembley.

Drogba, as ever a big game player, stepped up to score the winner. Liverpool's Andy Carroll got one back for the Reds, but it wasn't enough to stop the victory.

However, the key point was in the Champions League final in Munich. Bayern was essentially playing in its home stadium, as they were Chelsea's opponents at the time.

But as yet again the big game player for the club, Drogba's influence was telling and timeless.

He scored a wondrous header in the dying stages of normal time. But struck home the winning penalty, to secure Chelsea their first ever Champions League title. Despite Arsenal reaching the final in 2006, they remain the only London club to have won the Champions League.

Drogba certainly laid an indelible mark on this game and in Chelsea history.
