The 2011-12 Champions League that changed Chelsea's history

Chelsea is not only the only London club to have won the Champions League, but also one of London's most successful clubs in Europe. It is also a team that has won all European cups, which makes Chelsea's history beautiful. However, along the way to winning the first Champions League, Chelsea faced many difficulties. I want to say that the Champions League was not won easily and calmly, but it was won with all its might. That was the 2011-12 season. In the 2011-12 season, Chelsea signed Porto coach Boras as Chelsea's coach on a three-year contract.
At that time, Chelsea's captain was John Terry, but in fact, Chelsea was led by senior players such as Peter Chats, John Terry, Lampard, Drogba and four other players were in charge. The relationship between the senior players and manager Boras began to deteriorate during the pre-season friendly. Chelsea's results were poor, and Boras's personal decisions led to a rift between the players and the manager, and a breakdown in the dressing room. As a result, Boras was sacked as Chelsea manager in a short period of time and assistant manager Di Matteo was appointed as interim manager. At that time, Chelsea's situation was very bad, and it was impossible to win the Premier League title due to the points gap, and in the Champions League round of 16, they had lost 3 goals to 1 away to Napoli, so their hopes were very low.
However, in the second leg against Napoli, the determination, determination, The spirit of not giving up easily was clearly seen, and they won 3-1 at home against Napoli, which forced extra time and Ivanovic's goal allowed them to advance to the next round. It was an amazing COMEBACK. In the quarter-finals, they defeated Benfica 3-1 on aggregate and advanced to the semi-finals. In the semi-finals, they faced Barcelona, which was a very difficult opponent for Chelsea. At that time, Barcelona was a very scary team. At that time, Barcelona was managed by Pep Guardiola, and Messi was at his best. Chelsea had to stop Barcelona's attacks at home, and Drogba's only goal ensured a home win. In the second leg away match, Barcelona attacked Chelsea and repeatedly caused problems for Chelsea's goal. Meanwhile, Chelsea captain John Terry was also sent off with a red card.
Petr Cech also saved every Barcelona shot with his best skills and finally showed another incredible comeback. Chelsea reached the Champions League final with a 3-2 aggregate score. In the final, they faced Bayern Munich, a German club and the host team, and Chelsea's key players John Terry and Ivanovic were not in the squad. Bayern Munich came out with the strongest squad. Bayern Munich had the advantage of the number of players, the advantage of the fans, Bayern Munich took the lead in the 82nd minute, with home advantage and the home team taking control. Chelsea looked like they would never come back, but Drogba capitalised on the opportunity to head home the equaliser in the 88th minute. The score at half-time was 1-1, forcing extra time. Bayern Munich were awarded a penalty in extra time, but Petr Cech made a superb save to give Chelsea a chance.
It went to a penalty shootout and in the end, Chelsea won the Champions League. This Champions League trophy changed the history of Chelsea. Chelsea did not achieve these milestones easily, but it was achieved through the hard work and determination of the players, coaches and staff of Chelsea. Yes, what we are presenting now is the 2011-12 Champions League trophy that changed the history of Chelsea. Thank you very much to everyone who read this to the end.
