Chelsea striker Didier Drogba hailed his side’s never-say-die
attitude after they overcame Bayern Munich to win the Champions League
final.
The Blues secured a famous 4-3 victory on penalties at
their opponents’ home ground after taking the game to extra-time thanks
to Drogba’s late equaliser.
The Ivorian also coolly slotted home
the all-important final penalty to secure the win for his side, after
Bastian Schweinsteiger’s miss handed the Blues the advantage.
“We never give up until the end. This team is amazing. It was written, I think, a long time ago,” Drogba told ITV.
“I want to dedicate this cup to all the managers we’ve had before, all the players I’ve played with before.”
Drogba
also praised the performance of goalkeeper Petr Cech, who saved a
penalty from Arjen Robben in extra-time before playing a key part as
Bayern missed twice in the shootout.
“When we have this guy in goal you have to believe,” he said.
