It's quite fitting that on his final, or at least original final, appearance for Chelsea, Didier Drogba scored arguably the club's most important goal.

The Champions League in 2011/2012 for Chelsea produced some of the biggest underdog stories, greatest comebacks and best goals ever witnessed by most during their Cup winning run. The Blues had overcome the odds at every obstacle to ensure they were victorious in their pursuit of silverware.

At the home of opponents Bayern Munich in the Champions League final, Chelsea were destroyed on every inch of the pitch. From defence, midfield, and attack, Bayern did everything they could to claim the title – with the exception of scoring when it mattered.

The Bavarian giants squandered numerous chances to claim the Champions League, and when Thomas Muller gave his side the lead with nine minutes remaining, it looked set to end the Blues' hopes of a Champions League title.

Step forward Didier Drogba, and with seconds to spare, Chelsea managed to get themselves an equaliser to take the tie into extra-time. Arjen Robben missed a penalty before Chelsea won the contest in a penalty shoot-out with Drogba having the final say.
