DROGBA IS THE BEAST OF MUNICH

Thirteen years ago, Roberto Di Matteo's Chelsea defied the odds to beat Bayern Munich in their own backyard to win Europe's biggest prize for the first time.

The Blues had sacked Andre Villas-Boas in March and were trailing Napoli 3-1 after the first leg of their last-16 clash with the Italians.

But Chelsea dug deep to produce one of their all-time great European performances to beat Napoli 4-1 in the return fixture after extra-time.
