Definitely the best night of my life. Definitely. In fact I've never been happier in my life, and I know every die-hard Chelsea fan went absolutely mental after Drogba's last kick, but I really wish somebody filmed me, because my reaction was out of this world. I've seen countless videos and fan videos of the moments shortly after Drogba's penalty went in, and I looked at how some fans celebrated (I am not trying to ridicule them, btw) and I thought, "What? Was that all you could do?". You should've seen my reaction, seriously.

What will make me never forget that day though, is that I remember almost everything, almost every little detail. I remember what I wore, at what time I left home, and numerous other stupid details. I went out with a mate that night who is also a Chelsea fan, and we watched the game on a big screen. I am so glad I took the decision to not watch it at home, because staying home definitely wasn't a good idea since my brother is a Bayern fan, and had I not taken that decision I am sure that the experience wouldn't have been as great as it was.

During the game I kept telling my mate "we're fucked if we continue to play like this", and I told him this nearly every 10 minutes, for 83 minutes. Less than 3 seconds after Muller scored I got flashbacks of Ronaldo's header in Moscow. The area where the Chelsea fans were was suddenly surrounded by an absolute silence, and you could only hear the Bayern fans. For nearly a minute me and my friend didn't say a single word to each other, and then I just told him "I told you so". He didn't say anything, he just took his Chelsea shirt off (it was the white 07-08 kit, the one we used v Fenerbahce away in the Champions League), and I said "What the heck do you think you're doing?". "Shut up", he said, "I've done this more than once, every time I wore this white kit we've been a goal down, and every time I did this, we never lost." "Well, it definitely isn't going to work this time mate" I said. At that point I had totally given up, and accepted defeat. I thought it just wasn't meant to be.

But my friend believed, he truly did. After he took his shirt off he was so convinced we wouldn't lose, it's unreal. But once we equalized (I initally thought it was Luiz who scored), I was somewhat more optimistic, and more calm too. I knew that Robben and Schweinsteiger were going to miss their penalties. I was 80% sure Mata was going to miss for us, and I was 95% sure Cole was going to miss. In fact Cole's penalty was the only one I didn't have the balls to watch. But when Drogba's penalty went in... my God, I want to experience that feeling again in my life before I die. At least once more. Even if we do it for a second time though, for me it will probably not come anywhere near close to what I felt that night.

Watching the Sky Sports - Kings of Europe documentary. The whole run was incredible but that night at the Nou Camp was special. Don't think that image of Robbie running up the touchline to Eddie with his arms pumping will ever leave me.

It's been exactly 1 year since that night in Munich.. Still bring tears to my eyes.
We came back from the brink
We beat the unbeatable
We turned our history around

Chelsea FC
We are the IMPOSSIBLE.

Champions of Europe, we know what we are.
