The Champions League is never quiet with Didier Drogba around, and it was from that competition he picked out his two major footballing memories.
Favourite game played:
After travelling to Anfield and giving Liverpool a 3-1 thumping, Chelsea hosted the Reds in the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a comfortable lead already established.
With that in mind, many expected Liverpool to attack when they arrived at Stamford Bridge, which they did, but it would be fair to say no one predicted the eight-goal thriller that ensued.
By half-time Liverpool were 2-0 up, after Fabio Aurelio and Xabi Alonso both found the net inside the first 30 minutes, but by the 75-minute mark Chelsea had made it 3-2 in our favour.
Drogba struck first, then Alex, then Frank Lampard as the crowd inside Stamford Bridge erupted.
But Liverpool were far from done and five minutes after Chelsea's third, Lucas made it 3-3 and only a minute later Dirk Kuyt netted the visitor's fourth.
By now you could have cut through the tension inside the stadium with a knife, as Blues everywhere wished for one last Chelsea goal to see us safely through.
And even though it was irrelevant to the cause, as a 4-3 loss would have seen Chelsea progress to the next round anyway, with only one minute of normal time left to play, Lampard made it four.
'It was an amazing night at Stamford Bridge and nobody expected it to be like that,' explains Drogba. 'We started badly but we came back once and then did it again, and the atmosphere in the stadium was special, I will always remember it.'
Favourite game watched:
Many who played in it would pick it as their favourite, yet suspension meant Drogba had to watch from the sidelines.
When we hosted Barcelona in the Champions League first knockout round in 2005, an outstanding game of football unfolded. It was a game that placed Chelsea back among Europe's greats and provided a couple of the decade's greatest goals.
After building a 3-0 lead in the first half, following strikes from Eidur Gudjohnsen, Frank Lampard and Damien Duff, Ronaldhino pulled one back for the visitors with a penalty after Paulo Ferreira handled in the area.
But it was the Brazilian's second that most will remember, when he made a simple flick look astoundingly complex, as his shot from the edge of the box flew past Ricardo Carvalho and into the top left.
Fortunately it was the last goal the Spanish giants could muster and when John Terry headed home Duff's out-swinging corner, our place in the next round was sealed.
'My favourite game to watch was when we beat Barcelona 4-2 at Stamford Bridge in 2005,' explains the Ivorian.
'I was suspended for the game so watched from the side and it was a brilliant night for Chelsea, it was fantastic.'
