Didier Drogba
Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has pointed to his side’s away goal against Benfica as the key to progressing through to the Champions League semi-finals.
The Stamford Bridge outfit was a 1-0 winner on Tuesday night courtesy of Salomon Kalou’s late effort, meaning that the club heads into the second leg with a considerable advantage.
Drogba had been criticised in the build up to the tie after a video on Chelsea TV emerged of him appearing to mock the Portuguese side when he and teammates were filmed watching the Champions League quarterfinal draw, a suggestion which was later denied by David Luiz.
Although the Ivorian was an unused substitute during the first leg at the Estadio da Luz with Roberto Di Matteo preferring Fernando Torres up front, the veteran still realises the importance of both the result and the away goal to the Blues’ chances of booking a place in the semifinals.
