Chelsea legend, Didier Drogba, on Saturday urges his former club’s players to show character by believing in themselves ahead of tonight’s Champions League final.
The Blues face Premier League champions, Manchester City, in front of 16,500 fans at the Estádio do Dragão in Porto tonight as they aim to win their first trophy of the season.
The 43-year-old Ivorian posted a video on his Twitter page in which he asked the Chelsea team to believe in themselves and to “play as if this is [their] last chance to a Champions League game.”

Chelsea’s only Champions League trophy came in 2012 against last season’s winner, Bayern Munich.
Drogba cancelled Thomas Muller’s opener with a bullet header at the death before coolly converting the decisive spot-kick.
The Ivorian went on to score the winner as the Blues won 4-3 on penalties.
