Chelsea's clash with Barcelona from 2009 is still remembered for FOUR penalty shouts that were turned down and not wonder goals... Didier Drogba called the referee a 'f****** disgrace'

It says a lot about Chelsea's 2009 Champions League semi-final against Barcelona that no one still speaks about Andres Iniesta's dramatic and brilliant late equalising goal.

How could they when fans still fume about decisions made by referee Tom Henning Ovrebo? And especially in a week when he has admitted that night in Stamford Bridge was not his best.

So a game that featured two long range scorchers — Michael Essien the other scorer — has become defined by scenes like Didier Drogba screaming 'it is a f****** disgrace' down the camera at full-time.
