Cech was Chelsea’s hero on numerous occasions

In the Champions League final of 2012, Chelsea took on Bayern Munich at the German giants’ home stadium with the hopes of putting their heartbreaking loss on penalties in 2008 behind them. Their hopes were saved not once but twice – first with a late equaliser by Drogba to cancel out Muller’s 83rd minute goal and then by this fantastic penalty save by Petr Cech who kept out Robben’s low drive in extra time to take the match to penalties.

They would win 4–3 to make history as the first London club to win the trophy, and in a game where Bayern had 35 shots – 7 on target – Petr Cech would be voted the fans’ man of the match.
