'Legend' Drogba upstaged as Eto'o eases Chelsea into Champions League quarter-finals


Prior to making his long-awaited return to Stamford Bridge, Didier Drogba admitted he had not decided whether he would celebrate scoring against Chelsea. In his pre-match press conference, Jose Mourinho refused to rule out the possibility of Drogba coming back to Stamford Bridge as a player when he becomes a free agent again this summer. But then Mourinho also said he did not believe this match would be over by half-time. Less than four minutes after the referee had blown his whistle it became abundantly clear just why Mourinho had identified Galatasaray as his preferred opponents in the Champions League round of 16. And for all the sentimental talk of the past few days, it had little to do with Drogba.
