Monday, Didier Drogba found for the first time Stamford Bridge since his departure a little over a year ago.

If he will have to wait until Tuesday night and the knockouts second leg of Champions League against the Blues to set foot on the London lawn for an official match, the Galatasaray striker took advantage of the pre-game press conference to share his happiness to return to an enclosure where he played for 8 seasons. “But I proved nothing, he has indicated, however. I come here with another team, I just want to qualify. I have nothing personal against Chelsea.”

While his team was held 1-1 at home in the first leg, Drogba has already warned that he “will not celebrate his goal” if he happens to score Tuesday. “I have too much respect for Chelsea and for their fans, he has said. But if we win, I’ll be happy.”
