Probably one of the most memorable nights in the history of the Champions League, Chelsea shocked everyone on 19th May, 2012 as they beat the German giants Bayern Munich to clinch their first ever Champions League trophy.

It was just not Bayern's night as they could not covert their chances well, hitting 35 shots, but only 7 of them were on target. The German youngster Thomas Muller managed to grab an opener in the 83rd minute, only for Didier Drogba to equalise five minutes later by heading the ball from Juan Mata's corner.

The match moved on to a penalty shootout after an eventless extra time, where Chelsea were able to grab a victory as Bayern could not score their last two penalty kicks, with Ivica Olic's penalty being saved by Petr Cech and Bastian Schweinsteiger hitting the post. Didier Drogba scored a winning penalty to win Chelsea their first Champions League title.

It was an unforgettable night for Chelsea as beating Bayern Munich at Allianz Arena is never easy, and they managed to do it in style.
