It has been exactly eight years since Chelsea's Demba Ba sent Jose Mourinho sprinting down a Champions League touchline - just as he did at Old Trafford in 2004 when he masterminded Porto's stunning victory over Manchester United.
The Senegalese striker slid in and scooped an 88th-minute winner over the top of Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu to send Chelsea through to the Champions League semi-final. Ba’s dramatic intervention completed a stunning comeback at Stamford Bridge, which saw the Blues overturn a 3-1 defeat to progress via away goals over the French giants.
It triggered one of the most incredible atmospheres the west London club has witnessed, with pandemonium in the stands. And one of the most memorable moments of that electric few minutes was the sight of a tracksuit-laden Mourinho sprinting down the touchline towards his players – but not in celebration, as the ‘Special One’ claimed.
