I was actually looking for older pictures to post in the Chelsea Vintage Thread. I found them, posted them and came across this one!😀

Also the news that a certain Frank Lampard could be our interim manager…

 Frank Lampard celebrating with Juan Mata after the nerve wracking penalty shoot out win.😀

11 years ago today.

what a night that was. 🏆 

 

 

Remember this night so vividly to this day.

The match day nerves accumulating throughout the day as kick off drew nearer. sh*tting myself when the game started. Holding my head in my hands every time Bayern threatened to score. Crossing my fingers on the rare occasion that we managed to venture into Bayern's half. That feeling of defeat when they scored, the exact same feeling when Barca went 2 nil up and we were down to 10. Torres winning that corner and desperately clinging on to whatever optimistic naivety I had left. Going wild after Drogba's goal and knowing from that moment onwards, we were going to win, that after all these years it was finally going to be our night. Even when they won a penalty, even when Mata missed. I just knew. An awful game to watch, but a wonderful night to celebrate. KTBFFH

When Schweinsteiger missed his penalty I think euphoria started to kick in. Don't think I'll ever experience anything like that again. 

Was right behind the goal when Drogba scored. Could have had 6 Neuers in the goal and that bullet still would have gone in. One of the greatest headed goals ever.

Cech gets us back into the shootout by saving from Olic

I still get really nervous watching the highlights and especially the penalty shoot out!

Despair for Schweinsteiger after his miss!

Can't help thinking of Munich when I see that despair from Schweinsteiger. Losing on pens is the worst.

Especially when it's your town and your cup.

We still need to find out who threw the beach ball for Robben’s pen.

Needs a statue outside the bridge.

Ah what a reminder for an incredible, untopable Chelsea moment.

Schweinsteiger is the guy you can immediately recognize from his calves

Come On Chelsea!!
