What happened to the Chelsea XI that won the Champions League in Munich in 2012

Chelsea lifted the Champions League trophy for the first time in their then 107-year history on this day ten years ago.

It was a dramatic affair in May 2012, with the Blues winning 4-3 on penalties after drawing 1-1 with Bayern Munich after 120 minutes failed to separate the two teams. The game had the rare combination of seeing Bayern playing on their home soil, but they failed to use that to their advantage as Didier Drogba was the hero of the night on his final game for Chelsea, before rejoining the club two years later.

Bayern took the lead seven minutes before the end of 90 minutes, only for Drogba to level the tie five minutes later, with his header sending the game to extra-time and then penalties.
