Thomas Muller close-range header in the 83rd minute seems to have handed thr trophy to the German side. But Drogba headed the equaliser from Juan Mata’s inswinging corner.
The match was stretched to extra-time and the Blues went on to secure the title after a nail-biting penalty shootout.
‘David Luiz came into the box and said to me: “And now: Goal!”‘ the legendary ex-Bayern midfielder explained during the Amazon documentary ‘Schw31ns7eiger Memories’.
Schweinsteiger claims a number of Bayern players shied away from taking a spot-kick during the tense penalty shootout that night.
‘Almost all of them pissed off,’ he added.
‘They flocked away, raised their hands and said: “I don’t want to”.’
The former Germany international was unable to even front up to Bayern fans after missing his penalty in the shootout, hitting the upright with his effort before Drogba’s winning strike from 12 yards.
‘I didn’t want to see the disappointed faces,’ Schweinsteiger said.
‘You knew: Now you can’t do better, it’s over.’
Thomas Muller looked to have extinguished Chelsea’s hopes of lifting the trophy with a close-range header in the 83rd minute.
