Chelsea are the CHAMPIONS of Europe!

Chelsea won a epic Champions League final against Bayern Munich, in which Didier Drogba was the hero, but nearly was the villain.

Until 80 minutes the game was fairly simple, with Munich overall being the attacking team, and Chelsea the players up against the wall. A few bad misses from Bayern helped keep Chelsea in the Cup.

However, on 83 mins Munich knocked the door down, Müller smashing his powerful header into the floor, and saw it creep over Petr Cech's stretched hand, putting Bayern in the driving seat.

It was looking like it would be Bayern Munich's fifth Champions League.

However, Didier Drogba hit a BULLET header past Manuel Neuer in the Munich goal from Chelsea's first corner on 88 mins!!

It soon went into extra-time.

Drogba nearly turned into the villain, as he tripped Franck Ribery in the area, and the referee gave a penalty. Arjen Robben stepped up, but a poor penalty was saved by Petr Cech.

The rest of extra-time went by, and a penalty shoot-out was needed.

Bayern went ahead, by a couple of penalties, however a miss meant Drogba just had to score to make Chelsea win their first European Cup.

The Ivorian kept a cool head, and slotted it passed Neuer to spark the celebrations.

So, Chelsea are the European champions! Please comment about your views here.
