“I think this is probably my final,” said the Serbian. “It's not the Champions League, but when you weren't in the final it is the same.

Congrats Brane!

The way he hit the ball - WOW! Pure power and precision.

I'm absolutely made up for him to get the winning goal after sitting out last years final, heroic performance too.

I know when Ivanovic moves on from the club I will always remember him, especially for his vital goals.

Even though he wasn't the player he once was in his first 3 seasons here, espcially in the 2010/2011 season, he was the best right back i the world then, no one could get past him. But even now he's just a very good professional, he gets benched a lot at times and never complains.

I don't mean to go on but when he scored that goal against Napoli I said right after that this guy will be a legend, he may not be Didier Drogba, Gianfranco Zola or Frank Lampard but we will always remember him for what he did and the goals he scored and the attitude he had. And most of all, HIS PASSION FOR THIS CLUB!.

That header was great, but his slide/hit corner flag celebration was timed to perfection lol.

Hand on heart, I said to my dad as soon as got the corner that Branna was going to score. Just had a gut feeling.

It was such a dramatic goal. The ball seemed to stay in the air for hours!

Now I want him to be the future captain even more than I did before.

I just froze for second as I seen him going to meet the cross, I even stopped drinking my lager.....and that's saying something.

Indeed. Actually thought it was going to land on top of the goal given how high and long the ball took to come down.

When I saw Iva jumping I thougt he was just going to fly away for a moment. Superb header.

You mean this?

I must say if I played on CFC & I knew Eva would react like that, I would try my damnest to score all the freakin' time

BOOM! BOOM! YEAH BABY! TAKE FUCKING THAT!

Really happy he scored the winning goal after missing that CL final

Clearly still an important player for the club. Some loyalty really goes out the window. He had a bad spell before and people wanted him to leave. Wonder if that is the same now
