Chelsea legends John Terry and Didier Drogba sent their congratulations to defender Andreas Christensen after the club's Champions League success.

The two icons know what it takes to win the ultimate European trophy with the Blues, and Christensen joined such elite company after his side defeated Manchester City 1-0 in Portugal on Saturday.

Christensen was on the bench for the game, but came on late in the first half when Thiago Silva had to come off with an injury.

Fans and pundits were very impressed with his maturity and defensive qualities at the heart of the Blues defense for the rest of the game.

"Congratulations mate," Terry posted on Instagram to the Danish international.

"Yes my man, what a game, you've grown so much, much love," Drogba said on the same post.
