If Didier Drogba’s glittering spell at Chelsea could be likened to a rock concert, his final act would have seen him walk off stage after playing an iconic guitar solo, leaving the crowd screaming for an encore. Quite simply, he was star of the show.

The Blues were heading into the final minute of the regulated 90 trailing 1-0 to Bayern Munich during their Champions League final, when the Ivorian rose high to meet Juan Mata’s corner and powered a header past Manuel Neuer to take the game into extra time.
