I met my missus on this day a year later and it's extremely possible my daughter was conceived the following year on this day. I locked myself in the bathroom the whole day the next year for fear of life changing events happening, but things have been ok the past couple of years, so I might take a gamble and atleast make it out into the garden today Careful! Report back tomorrow, so we know you and your life are safe

May 19, 20179 yr I concur with others whenever I watch this back I feel like Bayern are gonna take of their chances or Robben will slot home that pen or that Luiz will miss. It's so weird that I still feel the same feelings I felt watching it that night. It's utter crazy that we won it in 2012. I always used to say to my mates whenever we went out the CL in 05, 05, 06 etc that we would win it one day and probably have our worst team we've had. Well I was right in many ways, we had some ageing players, some players who were not good enough overall but did a job etc. It's just amazing. I honestly can't ever see anything in football ever topping that night for me. It's the only time I have ever cried after a game. All the years of hurt were suddenly worth it, I feel without that it wouldn't have ever felt the same.

May 19, 20179 yr Today is not only the 5th anniversary of using winning the Champions League it is also the 10th anniversary of us beating Man U to win the FA Cup. And the scorer of the winner in that game was Didier. From the club website: http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2017/05/five--ten--fifteen.html I'll have to have a couple of whiskies later to mark the anniversaries.

May 19, 20179 yr Fantastic night. One of the best in my life. Even if we were to win it again, I don't think it would have that same feeling.

May 20, 20179 yr Still got the game recorded on my sky recording box, 5 years down the line and don't think I will ever delete it. Best moment of my night!

May 20, 20179 yr Still sends shivers down my spine thinking about this game and great reading on this thread. From fighting relegation back in 1982/83 to the old Division 3. To Munch May 19th 2012 !
May 20, 20179 yr That distant roar from the other end when Drogba nets the penalty is spine tingling.
May 20, 20179 yr That distant roar from the other end when Drogba nets the penalty is spine tingling. Thanks for that. It's all there: Schweinsteiger's dejection and the nice touch of the two Bayern players coming to console him; the simplicity of Drogba's shot and then the roar from the far end and total silence from the camera end. Finally, the pain etched on the supporter's face in the last shot. We've been in both places and we know the highs and lows of sport.
May 20, 20179 yr Still can't believe that Drogba scored the penalty. The short run up was ridiculous be surprised Nuer never knew which way to go. Luiz pen was incredible though.

It's a bit like rewatching a great movie, isn't it. You know the result, and the story, but it still takes you on an emotional ride.
