Chelsea's greatest striker and Ivory Coast legend, scorer of two Champions League final goals including an 88th-minute equaliser.

Didier Drogba is the most successful African striker in Premier League history and one of Chelsea's most beloved players. His two Champions League final goals — an 88th-minute equaliser and a winning penalty in the shootout against Bayern Munich in 2012 — define his Chelsea legacy. He combined physical power with technical skill and goalscoring prowess that made him one of the era's most complete strikers.

His 88th-minute header in the 2012 Champions League final, which he scored while injured, is one of the most dramatic moments in the competition's history.
