Chelsea vs. Bayern Munich: Didier Drogba Proves His Worth in UCL Final
Chelsea's Didier Drogba comes through in the clutch more often than not. The higher the stakes, the higher his performance level on the pitch.
He proved it once again on Saturday in the UEFA Champions League final against Bayern Munich.
His worth as a competitor, goalscorer and leader on the pitch can't be matched by anyone who follows his footsteps in a Blues uniform.
With Chelsea conceding late Saturday, all thoughts were focused on how disappointing the overall season was for Chelsea. Then, with a blink of an eye, everything changed.
Drogba connected on a header from a corner kick in the 88th minute to give Chelsea yet another opportunity to steal the title away from a deserving Munich side.
After giving up a penalty kick in the opening stages of extra time, Drogba went from hero to zero. But, Petr Cech came to his teammate's aide by stopping Arjen Robben's penalty kick.
Just when you think Chelsea is down, they find another life; they're apparently a cat with nine lives.
No, really.
It was unbelievable to watch how everything went down on Saturday. Bayern had every chance, but Chelsea made all the plays necessary.
Destiny at its finest.
Drogba may never play in a Chelsea uniform again. If this, in fact, is his final go-around with the Blues, find a better way to end your career with a club.
