That night
Chelsea 2011/12
Petr Čech, Juan Mata, John Terry
Roberto Di Matteo·4-2-3-1
- UCL
- Cup
Di Matteo's Chelsea in Munich. A battered, stubborn side that parked, headed, and won Europe the hard way, with Drogba writing the last line.
If you only remember one name from this 2011/12 side it is probably Petr Čech. The engine also has to live with Juan Mata every week.
What they actually did that year: UEFA Champions League winners — Munich on penalties. Also on the list: FA Cup winners.
People open this squad and immediately queue Bayern Munich 2012/13. That pairing is a rivalry in the catalogue, not a historical fixture unless the years actually met.

Ratings
Shape
Counter-attack 80: the point is the break, not the concert. They will ask a question at set pieces (aerial 86). Defence 88 is the thing the model respects most.
