Didier Drogba recalled Chelsea’s preparations to face Barcelona under Roberto Di Matteo. The players were shown Barcelona’s leading scorers, including Xavi on 14 goals and Alexis Sánchez and Cesc Fàbregas on 15 each. Then Lionel Messi’s total appeared: 63 goals for the season, including 14 in the Champions League. Drogba said the Chelsea players laughed in disbelief because the number was so extraordinary. Messi went on to score 91 goals in the 2012 calendar year, a record that remains one of football’s most remarkable scoring feats.
