Amongst 11 heroes on the pitch was Petr Cech who was excellent in keeping such a strong Bayern team at bay on the occasions they bypassed our disciplined defence. The most important save came in extra time when he saved from the penalty spot from former Blue, Arjen Robben (although some credit must be given to both John Obi Mikel and a beach ball lobbing fan for their mind games!).
As we know it ended up going to penalties where remarkably Cech managed to guess right on all five Munich spotkicks, dramatically saving their 4th and 5th penalties from Olic and Schweinsteiger respectively. Didier Drogba then finished the job off by scoring the winning penalty.
This is one of my favourite repaints, and not just because of the reasons above! The figure was one from the 2005 league winners pack and so I had to add the head guard to it. This was achieved using blu tack before I created the indentations using the side of a paperclip. This was then coated in a thinned out PVA glue and painted. I also went to the trouble of painting Petr's gloves and boots, as well as the ball!
