Chelsea ace Mata: Drogba deserves his Munich moment

Juan Mata says he's happy for Chelsea teammate Didier Drogba after an amazing Champions League final.

Mata's unconverted penalty in the shoot-out happily was not critical and it was his corner that Didier Drogba had earlier headed in to equalise. He paid tribute to our centre-forward after the victory.

"I'm very happy for him, he deserves it. It was a match that had everything for him, the goal, the penalty he gave away, and then the decisive penalty he took. He deserves to have won it, after they lost in Moscow four years ago," he told chelseafc.com.
