Chelsea have a slender advantage ahead of their Champions League semi-final second leg against Barcelona after a Didier Drogba striker put them one-up in the tie.
Aside from Drogba feigning agony every 10 minutes in the first-half, unsavoury flashpoints were at a minimum, the referee wasn’t accused of participation in an Anglophobic conspiracy and Barca didn’t even whinge in defeat.
Here’s 19 pictures Blues fans will love to see...
