The Roman Conquest: Chelsea Kings of Europe 2012

After one billion pounds and eight managers in eight years, owner Roman Abramovich finally got his hands on the trophy he craved in Munich.
As Didier Drogba was handed the trophy for the first time at the presentation, he handed it straight to the guy at the end of the line looking as though he had gatecrashed the party.  But this was no ordinary fan on the periphery.  This was Roman Abramovich, whose billions created the Champions League winners.
Legendary football columnist Harry Harris follows Chelsea's remarkable progress through the 2011-12 tournament that finally ended the run of near misses and years of frustration.
