The Blueprint: How Chelsea FC Changed Football

Didier Drogba, the Lion in the Jungle (teaser)

As Didier Drogba approached the penalty spot in Munich, he knew Chelsea's destiny rested on his shoulders.

And this time, Drogba delivered, stroking his penalty home... somehow, Chelsea Football Club had reached the promised land. They were European champions.
