Chelsea won the biggest trophy in European football, beating hosts Bayern in a dramatic fashion. Drogba from Chelsea earn praise and more..

London / NationalTurk – Only few professional footballers boast the balance between physical strength, athleticism, speed, technique, instincts and all around football ability that the 34-year-old Drogba does. His goal which tied the game for extra time at Champions League Final proved that, since he climbed an invisible ladder and managed to turn his body while he was aerial. What a header that was.

Didier Drogba’s header in the 88th may not have won the Chelsea vs Bayern CL finals, but it did lead to the penalty shootout where Drogba finished off his work from 12 yards out.

That was was no surprise. Didier Drogba has played in 9 major finals for Chelsea and scored in 8 of them. The only final he did not manage scoring in was the 2008 Champions League final Chelsea vs Manchester United in which he was sent off for his kick of fury at United defender Nemanja Vidic in extra time. In finals, Drogba is fully focused and performs at his best. Rarely does he dive or playact when the magnitude of the reality is elevated like it was in the Champions League final 2012 Chelsea vs Bayern Munich.

Throw into that drogba’s excellent work rate and ability in defense, and Drogba’s talents are greater than any other striker of this generation. Messi and Ronaldo do take games over by themselves and Drogba can do that too, and he does something these two aliens from outer space don’t : He helps his team on the other end.
