Old Chelsea player, Didier Drogba, will be plotting the downfall of his former team, as his new side, Galatasaray, host the English Premier League team tonight in the Champions League.
The eagerly anticipated last-16 first leg match up will see Drogba go head to head with his former club for the first time. Kick off is set for 7.45 p.m. GMT and can be watched online through live stream – free for subscribers – via the link provided below.
Drogba of course is the man who scored the winning penalty as Chelsea won the Champions League two seasons ago.
However, since then he has moved on and now plays for the Turkish champions, and will be facing off against his former teammates in today's game.
When Drogba returns to Stamford Bridge for the return leg in a few weeks time, he will get a rapturous reception. He will go down in Chelsea history as one of the finest strikers to ever play for the club, scoring 157 goals in 342 games for the Blues.
Drogba also won three Premier League titles, four FA Cups, two League Cups, as well as that Champions League title with the Blues over his eight seasons there, and no doubt this will be an emotional game for him.
However, anyone believing any sentiment will transfer into the game will be mistaken. Drogba will be desperate to help his current side get to the Champions League quarterfinals, even if that means scoring a few against his old team.
But Chelsea will be the big favorites to win this last-16 tie, and Galatasaray will desperately need to take some kind of advantage to England for the return leg. SO they will be going for victory today.
