Drogba · Ramires · Mikel · Lampard · Mata · Kalou · Terry · Bosingwa · Ivanovic · Cole · Cech

Chelsea's starting formation for the 2012 FA Cup final against Liverpool. They won the match 2-1, with goals from Ramires and Didier Drogba. Although Andy Carroll pulled one back for the Reds, he had one disallowed and that allowed Chelsea to win their fourth cup in six years, not since Victorian times had the cup been dominated as such.

Didier Drogba's goal in the 52nd minute created history: the Ivorian was the first player ever to score in four different FA Cup finals (against Manchester United in 2007, Everton in 2009 and Portsmouth in 2010) and that could be his last magical moment for the Blues if he leaves Stamford Bridge this summer.

Roberto di Matteo has done well at Chelsea: he was meant to help out, but he has guided Chelsea to another FA Cup win, and now the Champions League final against Bayern Munich on 19 May awaits.
