The British press on Sunday hailed the heroics of Didier Drogba in helping Chelsea win the Champions League and took pleasure in noting that a German side had "at last" lost on penalties.
"Didi Did It," was the headline in the Sun on Sunday, recounting how Drogba first scored the equaliser in normal time and then stepped up to score the decisive spot kick as Chelsea beat Bayern Munich 4-3 in a penalty shoot-out.
The tabloid headlined another story simply "Germans lose on penalties" - hailing the turnaround in fortunes for an English team after decades of losing to Germany in penalty shootouts.
England have lost twice to Germany in penalty shoot-outs, in the semi-final of the 1990 World Cup and at the same stage of Euro 96.
