CHELSEA WIN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE


Dieder Drogba celebrates the equaliser

Chelsea completed the unlikeliest of triumphs as Dieder Drogba scored the winning goal in the penalty shootout, after the striker had equalised in the last minutes.

Bayren dominated the attack and created many chances in the 1st half, including a superb save from Petr Cech on Arjen Robben's shot and a couple of missed shots from Mario Gomez.

Bayren continued the attack in the 2nd half. Frank Ribery was disallowed a goal for being offside by just an inch. Thomas Muller finally scored the opener on 83 minutes and it looked that the goal won the hosts the trophy.

Muller headed the ball downwards in at the far post. It bounced at Cech's feet, he couldn't keep the ball out, and the ball bounced up into the roof of the net!

Just 5 minuted later Dieder Drogba scored the equaliser through the header at the near post on Juan Mata's corner.

As the match went to the extra time Robben missed a penalty, awarded for Drogba's unfair challenge on Ribery. It was a poor penalty from Robben, low to Cech's left, too close to the centre. Cech didn't saved it cleanly, but managed to gather at the second attempt just before Robben could follow up.

The final went down to the thrilling penalty shootout which begin with Mata missing the penalty. Drogba had scored the winning penaltty after Olic and Schweinsteiger missed the consecutive penaltics from Bayren Munich's side.
