‘We had the king, the man who produced’ – Lampard on Drogba’s impact in Chelsea’s Champions League triumph

Frank Lampard has recollected Chelsea’s famed Champions League triumph on May 19, 2012, while recognising Didier Drogba’s notable role.

After losing 2008 final to Manchester United inside Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium, the Blues ended their wait for the diadem four years later after defeating Bayern Munich on penalties at Allianz Arena.

After a scoreless first half, the Bavarians took the lead in 83rd minute after Thomas Muller headed past Petr Cech a cross from Toni Kroos.

The Cote d’Ivoire legend’s header to the top right corner from Juan Mata’s corner in the 88th minute sent the hard-hitting tie into extra-time.
