Chelsea striker Drogba: I did not deserve sending off
Chelsea striker Didier Drogba insists he did not deserve his red card suffered in last night's Champions League elimination by Inter Milan.
Drogba was shown a red card for a foul on Thiago Motta in the closing stages to complete a miserable night for Carlo Ancelotti's men.
He thinks the decision was harsh, but concedes it was not a significant incident as Chelsea's European dreams were shattered for another season.
"It is difficult to take because, yes I stepped on his calf, but I don't think I deserved this red card," said Drogba.
"But it is something that happened in the game. The most important thing is that we are out of the competition."

thiago motta jumped on drogba. wat he did was a red card offence. put ur self in drogbas shoes. if u were one nil down and someone kept on fouling you in the box and the ref isnt doing anything about it. u will retaliate as well.
