Chelsea Vs. Bayern Munich, 2012 Champions League Final: Chelsea Wins UEFA Championship, 4-3 On Penalty Kicks
The last five UEFA Champions League Finals matches that have gone into extra time, had to be decided on penalty kicks. That scenario would play itself out for the sixth consecutive time as Chelsea and Bayern would have to take penalty kicks to decide the championship
Thomas Muller's goal for Bayern Munich at the 83rd minute of regulation in the match gave his club a 1-0 lead and it appeared as if Bayern would emerge victorious. But Chelsea superstar Dider Drogba tied the match up at 1-1 with a header in the 88th minute of the match. The goal was Drogba's sixth in eight matches.
The outcome couldn't be decided in the thirty minutes of extra time and fans got a chance to take part in the most exciting aspect of soccer.
Bayern Munich went 4-0 when games go to penalties during the season and Chelsea was 0-2.
Chelsea and Bayern found themselves tied at three goals each when Didier Drogba stepped up for the final kick. Drogba fired a shot past Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to seal the victory for Chelsea Football Club on Bayern Munich's home field.

Ozzie Guillen Weighs In On The Erik Spoelstra And Dwyane Wade Situation
By now you know that Miami Heat All-Star, Dwyane Wade, and his coach Erik Spoelstra had an exchange of words on the sidelines in Wednesday night's game two of the Heat's second round NBA Playoff series with the Indiana Pacers at Conseco Fieldhouse.
Wade, who got in Spoesltra's face and had to be separated from his coach by his teammates in the third quarter of the game, ignited a media firestorm about his actions and now, Miami Marlins skipper, Ozzie Guillen, decided to throw his two cents in. More after the jump...
The Miami Herald reports what Ozzie says he would've done if Dwyane Wade had gotten in his face like that:
"I will kick his [butt],'' Guillen said. "Well, I won't say I'll kick his [butt]. They'll kick my [butt] because they're bigger than me, and I'm older. But I will take my chances. Some people have to understand our job. Some players, they think they know more baseball than you do.''
Guillen, who is known for putting his foot in his mouth, called Wade disrespectful and said he's begun to notice a lack of respect between player and coach:
"Before, the coaches had white hair and big bellies, smoking a cigar,'' Guillen said. " 'OK, that's my grandpa.' Now a lot of young guys are the same age as the coaches.''
Of course, the Miami Heat fiasco had nothing to do with Ozzie, but you know he's never one to pass up an opportunity to thrust himself in the spotlight in some way or another.
