Post here your most epic games. Mine are two vs. Arsenal, as Chelsea, both in a time period of two months. One I didn't even play in, which is the second - that game just finished as I write this.
There was also a fantastic comeback vs. Athletico Madrid, in which I got a hat trick, winning 3-1, after Madrid lead, and the first leg we lost 2-1.
The first one -
Quiet January day. What was coming though, wasn't quiet.
Arsenal were 10 points behind, and we were coming to the Emirates. I knew this would be one of the toughest games I have ever had to play.
It was an incredible atmosphere, as the game kicked off. We started, passed the ball around, but were caught fooling around, and were on the break.
"Alidiere, he's put through! It must be!! And Arsenal lead Chelsea in the London Derby!!! This is one of the most important goals he'll score in his life!!"
15 minutes in, and we're 1-0 down. This will be one hell of a game.
I had a few shots at goal from long range, but mostly, my play was sloppy at that time.
20 mins in and Alidiere scores a rebound. 2-0 to Arsenal, and this is getting dangerous.
Until 35 minute and Henry scores a brilliant goal, smashing into the top right corner from long range, and this game will be nearly impossible. 3-0 down, early in.
I pull one back on the 37th but there still wasn't much hope for the Stamford Bridge blues.
Half time, and after a few words from Mourinho(If Henry is still around, so is Mourinho! :)) we were ready and energized. Kick off, and we win the ball back.
This was our game now.
A good pass from Shevchenko to me and into the bottom corner it goes. 3-2, and we knew it would come, the valuable point. What I did not expect though is the way the game would turn.
74th minute as I play to Shevchenko and outside the penalty area he drills low into the bottom right, wonderful goal as we equalize and the Emirates Stadium was silenced.
I was getting tired and I knew I couldn't stay on much longer.
It was the 85th minute and we were losing hope in getting all three points, until I was in the penalty area using my least bit of energy.
I was fouled. Penalty to Chelsea on the 88th minute, and I was injured.
Lampard to take. The stadium is eerily quiet by now.
Can it be, Frank Lampard? YES!!!!!!!
The Chelsea fans erupt and Lampard is off to celebrate, which I could unfortunately only watch from the stands...
The Second Game
It was February in the FA Cup semi finals. Manchester United did not have the hardest task ever, hosting Plymouth.
Arsenal had to host Chelsea, and ladies and gentlemen, we had a rematch.
Except, of course, I couldn't play. After recovering from the last Arsenal game, two games later and I was out for 5 weeks atleast. I was watching this one from the stands, with my fingers crossed.
Well, the goalkeeper must have had his fingers crossed too. Literally. 5 minutes in and Makalamby(No idea why Cech isn't in. Makalamby is so poor in NSS and they rotate, while Cech is amazing.) couldn't properly stop an incredibly weak shot. Henry comes in, hits it straight at him, and it comes back to Henry, who hits it into the open net.
Here we go again.
Half time on this snowy February, and it's 1-0 to Arsenal. Both teams with big chances.
Henry makes it two on the 51st and it looks like there may be little hope.
Shevchenko pulls one back on the 79th from a header off a saved free kick, and a little glimpse of hope is there. More chances from Chelsea and a few scares from Arsenal, and 11 minutes later..
Glombard equalized with the last kick of the game, hitting a shot that the keeper got his hands on but was too powerful.
The fans scream, and we have another amazing game here as the ref whistles for extra time, 2-2.
Van Persie scores a spectacular goal on the 97th minute from long range, absolutely amazing, and it's 3-2.
But then, Shevchenko equalizes on the 116th minute! 3 all, and this is going to penalties.
First penalty by Julio Baptista. Skied high.
Second penalty by Geremi which he puts in fantastically.
Third pernalty and Henry scores. 1-1.
Fourth penalty and Glombard is denied.
Fifth penalty and Van Persie is denied! Still 1-1!
Sixth penalty and Shevchenko finds the back of the net! Can Chelsea do it!?!?
Fabregas steps up to take. He looks to his left, fires..
IT'S OFF THE POST AND THE CHELSEA FANS ARE GOING WILD!!! THEY HAVE GONE THROUGH TO THE FINAL!!
