Chelsea's Drogba: Defeat will be personal black mark

Didier Drogba says failure tonight in the Champions League final will be a "black mark" against his career at Chelsea.

The striker explained: "The result will be down to small details, such as free kicks and physical fitness. Chelsea have an advantage with the latter as the squad has been regularly rotated. That is a trump card when it comes to playing a Champions League Final.

"If we lose it will be a black mark on my career as it will be the first season I've not won a trophy with Chelsea. But this game does not frighten me. I am used to the big matches."
