Didier Drogba admitted that nerves so nearly got the better of Chelsea during certain stages of their epic Champions League second-leg showdown with Liverpool.
“The desire to qualify got us through,” boomed Drogba after Tuesday’s eight-goal thriller. “We lost our nerve maybe, I think the three goals we let in against Bolton were still in our heads.
“In both legs we have shown our character and quality. I don’t know what happened in the first half, but we have shown our character. It was a great game, we made it very hard for ourselves. They kept coming back, it was a great tie.”
