Drogba the hero after emotional week
|
Chelsea match-winner Didier Drogba dedicated tonight's win over Barcelona to Vicky Buchanan, who died on Tuesday in a road accident.
Buchanan worked at Chelsea and her death had clearly affected Drogba, who scored the only goal of the game against Barcelona in the Group A match.
Drogba also dedicated the victory to injured goalkeepers Petr Cech and Carlo Cudicini.
He told Sky Sports: "We needed three points for Petr and Carlo and for the girl who died who worked for Chelsea. It's difficult, it is dedicated to her family.
"It's difficult because Chelsea is a big family, everyone is working behind the scenes - we see the players but the work behind is fantastic."
Blues manager Jose Mourinho added: "It's not just for Carlo and Petr, it's much more sad than that.
"A lovely girl worked for the club and shared moments with us at the training ground."
He added: "In pure sports point of view it's a great victory."
