Relegation fight, Man Utd struggle: Where Chelsea's 2012 Champions League winning squad are now

Ten years today, Chelsea football club had made history and won the Champions League. It remains printed in every fan's memory as the day that Didier Drogba secured Europe's most elite prize. After years of coming so close, the 19th of May 2012 made dreams come true. It implanted a type of fulfilment in the Chelsea camp following the misfortunes of 2008 and unjust scenes from 2009 on the quest for Champions League victory.

It took a last-minute equaliser, a missed Arjen Robben penalty in extra time and an intense penalty shoot out, but the Blues got it over the line. Where the odds were truly against their injury-ridden squad, they made it work against a World Class Bayern Munich side.

Who would have thought that Ryan Bertrand would boss the left-wing up against an in form Philip Lahm? Dreams came true in a peculiar fashion but the players could hold their heads high knowing that they deserved this achievement. Ten years on, we take a look at exactly where each 2012 Champion of Europe is now.
