The Blues became European champions after overcoming Bayern Munich in their own backyard but the preceding FA Cup final victory over Liverpool is less vaunted.

It is 13 years ago since the world's most famous club cup returned to Stamford Bridge despite the Reds staging a late second-half fightback through Andy Carroll.

The current Bordeaux forward clawed back a reducer before scoring what appeared to be an equaliser in the closing stages with his side trailing 2-1 at Wembley.

Unfortunately for Carroll, his header was denied by one of the best ever saves witnessed at England's national stadium as Petr Čech produced an incredible stop.

Unlike in 2005, the match officials were adamant this didn't cross the line!
