Didier Drogba Clinches Fourth Premier League Title with Chelsea
Didier Drogba’s fairy-tale return to Stamford Bridge has added another glittering chapter. The Ivorian striker, now 37, played a key role in Chelsea’s 1–0 victory over Crystal Palace — a result that sealed the club’s fifth Premier League title and Drogba’s fourth.
Preferred to Loïc Rémy in the starting XI for this decisive fixture, Drogba once again demonstrated his enduring value to the team, helping lead from the front in what was Chelsea’s 35th match of the campaign. It’s a title that carries special significance — not only because it extends his incredible personal haul but because it comes exactly a decade after his first Premier League crown.
Since arriving in 2004, Drogba has built a legacy as one of Chelsea’s all-time greats, combining power, presence, and an unmatched knack for delivering on the biggest stages. His return to the club this season was met with widespread emotion from fans — and now, with silverware in hand, it’s clear the move has paid off in full.
Didier Drogba’s Trophy Cabinet with Chelsea:
-
Premier League Champion: 2005, 2006, 2010, 2015

This fourth Premier League medal now puts Drogba one ahead of his long-time manager José Mourinho — a fitting stat for a player who has so often defined Chelsea’s identity under the Portuguese coach.
While the Ivorian may be in the twilight of his career, his story with Chelsea has come full circle — from legend to veteran leader — with glory still very much part of the journey.
