Never give up

🎙️ Didier Drogba in 2020: "8 years ago at Chelsea, our coach Villas-Boas was sacked by the club and us players had a team meeting where we acknowledged our part of the responsibility for his departure. Captain John Terry spoke, Frank Lampard, Petr Cech and the other leaders of the group also spoke.

We then decided to put all our strength into the Champions League even though we had just lost 3-1 against Napoli in the first leg of the round of 16. We had been chasing this trophy for 8 years and we hadn’t finished better than runner-up. Everyone decided to put their egos aside and fight for each other, with the same goal.

After that meeting, I asked 23-year-old Juan Mata for help: "Please, Maestro, help me win the Champions League."

He looked at me like he was saying, "Man, you're crazy. You're Didier Drogba, it's up to you to help me win."

I replied that "I have been at Chelsea for 8 years and I have never won it. So believe me, you are the guy who will help us win it. I will even give you a gift if we win it.”

Three months later, we were in Munich for the final, in their stadium submerged in a red wave. Bayern were leading 1-0 with 8 minutes remaining and I was discouraged. But a young man named Juan Mata told me: "Keep believing Didier, you have to keep believing".

Me, I was in tears and I answered him: “Believe in what? It's over, I'm going to cry like a few months ago when I lost the AFCON final with Ivory Coast.”

And then, we play the final minute and we get a corner. Last minute, last corner. Juan Mata takes it and the rest is history! The lesson of all this is "ALWAYS BELIEVE". 💙

Extraordinary scenes in the Championship today 😲

After a controversial goal from his Leeds team, manager Marcelo Bielsa ordered his players to let Aston Villa score an equaliser.

@iyersaishwarya Glad that people are organizing for better pay for their produce. Better jobs and better pay should be the real agenda of ant government, instead of stoking communal divides!

But where’s the garlic, @dominos ? 👀

Athletic Bilbao has a new keeper.

Or do they? Sounds like Kepa secretly returned back to his old club to play with a slightly disguised name 😆

It’s not about whether you fall or not. It’s about what you do AFTER you get up. Sifan Hassan, hats off to your resilience!
