Chelsea 1 Barcelona 0

GIVE the Drog a bone and he will chew it up.

Barca may be a bunch of chums with all the pedigree but veteran striker Didier Drogba converted Chelsea’s one chance to take a slender advantage to the Nou Camp.

They say that, at 34, the Drog is on his last legs. But, last Sunday, he scored a screamer to set up the 5-1 destruction of Spurs in the FA Cup semi-final.

And here he fired in Chelsea’s only shot on target at the end of the first half when he converted a pinpoint cross from Ramires.

Drogba wants to stay at Stamford Bridge but is demanding a two-year contract instead of the one-year deal on offer.

Owner Roman Abramovich must now be contemplating caving in to the Ivorian because he looks far from a spent force.

It was an astonishing win when you look at the stats.

Chelsea hardly saw the ball all night. Barca had 72 per cent possession, 24 attempts on goal to the Blues’ five, and six efforts on target to one.

But the most important part of the game is getting the ball in the onion bag.
