Sky Sports looks back at Chelsea's European finals after their Champions League success
Chelsea claimed a stunning Champions League triumph on Saturday night as they beat Bayern Munich on penalties.
Here, Sky Sports looks back at the English club's other European finals following a remarkable night of drama.
CHELSEA 2 REAL MADRID 1 (CUP WINNERS' CUP FINAL - 1971)
Following their replay victory over Leeds in the 1970 FA Cup final, Chelsea booked their place in a first European final with a 2-0 aggregate win over Manchester City in the semis. Their opponents were Spanish giants Real Madrid, with the final being played at the Karaiskakis Stadium in Athens.
The first match, on 19th May, ended in a 1-1 draw after Ignacio Zoco scored a last-minute equaliser to cancel out Peter Osgood's goal 10 minutes after the break. Two days later, Chelsea exacted their revenge as first-half strikes from Osgood and John Dempsey set up a 2-1 victory.
CHELSEA 1 STUTTGART 0 (CUP WINNERS' CUP FINAL - 1998)
After overcoming a first-leg deficit to see off Italian side Vicenza in the semi-finals, Chelsea finished the job at the Rasunda Stadion in Stockholm to win the trophy for a second time. Stuttgart enjoyed the better of the first half, but the match swung decisively in the Blues' favour when manager Gianluca Vialli introduced Gianfranco Zola in the 69th minute.
Just 20 seconds after his arrival, the diminutive forward latched on to Dennis Wise's through-ball to fire an unstoppable shot past Franz Wohlfahrt for the winner. Dan Petrescu was later sent off, but the Londoners held on for the victory.
CHELSEA 1 MAN UTD 1 - PENS: 5-6 (CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL - 2008)
The night that John Terry will never forget. The Chelsea skipper was left in tears as he missed the spot-kick that would have won the cup for the Blues. The match had gone to penalties after Frank Lampard had equalised Cristiano Ronaldo's opener in Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium.
Didier Drogba saw red for slapping Nemanja Vidic in extra-time before Chelsea raced into a 4-3 lead on penalties after Ronaldo's miss from 12 yards. Terry stepped up to score the winner, but he slipped and his shot shaved the outside of the post. Nani, Anderson and Ryan Giggs scored for the Red Devils and Nicolas Anelka missed the Blues' seventh spot-kick to hand United a dramatic victory.
CHELSEA 1 BAYERN 1 - PENS 4-3 - (CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL - 2012)
Didier Drogba and Petr Cech were the Chelsea heroes as they came back from conceding a late goal in normal time to force an extra 30 minutes and then rock Bayern at the German club's home Allianz Arena by winning on penalties. Thomas Muller headed Bayern in front in the 83rd minute but Drogba replied with a similar goal five minutes later. Cech saved a penalty in extra-time from Arjen Robben, then in the shoot-out from Ivica Olic after Juan Mata had failed from the spot for Chelsea. Bastian Schweinsteiger then hit the post - and that allowed Drogba to step up and slot into the left corner to clinch the trophy.
