The Guardian Eyewitness: Chelsea fans celebrate Champions League win
Chelsea captain Frank Lampard receives a kiss from a jubilant fan after his team beat Bayern Munich in a penalty shootout to win the Champions League final at the Fussball Arena Munchen in Munich, Germany.
“All you get in this club is for them. They have given me the strength when I was lacking it, they have excited me when I was sunk, they have shown why I have to be proud of being a Chelsea player. I have nothing but gratitude for them. Heartfelt thanks. My desire is to come back with more celebrations.”
- Fernando Torres about the Chelsea fans
Didier Drogba carrying the Olympic Torch - Mai 24, 2012.
“Didier is a club legend and what he has decided is respectable. I can only wish him the best and I feel proud to have shared so much with him. I want to play with the best and he is one of the best. I don’t understand why it has to be one or the other and not both.”
“At Chelsea, I am very happy and I never said the opposite. I still have a lot to do in this club, meet personal goals, confidence to return and love to thank. It has been a difficult year, I didn’t play much and my mind was like a roller coaster. I felt bad, very bad and I would not like to feel that way again. But I have never surrendered and I never will.”
- Fernando Torres
