Relegation fight, Man Utd struggle: Where Chelsea's 2012 Champions League winning squad are now

Ten years today, Chelsea football club had made history and won the Champions League. It remains printed in every fan's memory as the day that Didier Drogba secured Europe's most elite prize. After years of coming so close, the 19th of May 2012 made dreams come true. It implanted a type of fulfilment in the Chelsea camp following the misfortunes of 2008 and unjust scenes from 2009 on the quest for Champions League victory.
