Didier Drogba is convinced about the bond between the players and Chelsea fans.

Drogba also spoke about his leaving Chelsea after the Champions League win, and then returning to the club.

"Together we've achieved so much here," he told Sports Illustrated.

"We have been through a lot of good moments and sad moments as well, like the final in Moscow.

"For eight years we have been chasing the Champions League trophy and then we did it and the fans understood that.

"So that understanding between the fans and the players, makes this relationship very special."
