You don't end up being champions by quitting! This is what Chelsea proved in their Round of 16 encounter against Napoli. With manager Andre Villas-Boas' job already in turmoil, the London side succumbed to a 3-1 defeat in Italy.

By the time of the second leg, the managerial hot seat had been taken over by former Chelsea player Roberto Di Matteo. The English side managed a rousing performance and were 3-1 up by the end of the 90 minutes.

It went to extra time and defender Branislav Ivanović scored a dramatic 105th-minute winner. Chelsea would go on to reach the final in which they played and won against Bayern Munchen.
