It’s the highly anticipated Champions League clash as Chelsea takes on Galatasaray, with a spot in the quarter-finals at stake and the added spectacle of Didier Drogba’s return to Stamford Bridge. Drogba, who spent eight illustrious years at Chelsea, knows the stadium inside out and is set to feature prominently against his former club, alongside fellow Ivorian Emmanuel Eboue and Cameroonian hero Aurélien Chedjou from the first leg.
