Chelsea great Didier Drogba has recalled his role in their Champions League final win against Bayern Munich.

After scoring to take the game to penalties, Drogba also took part in the shootout.

He told Canal+: What if I made a panenka? And then I said to myself, no, no, no, you're crazy.

"Not there, not there. Yet I wanted it, but two months before I had missed my penalty in the CAN final.

(The objective) is to be able to read the goalkeeper's momentum, that's what he somehow forced me to reduce take two or three steps and pause so he can move before I shoot."
