Ghana midfielder Michael Essien scored a fantastic left foot volley for Chelsea in their 1-1 draw with Barcelona during the 2008/09 UEFA Champions League semi-finals at the Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea FC took to their official Twitter page to tweet Michael Essien’s goal against Barcelona which is one of the finest in the club’s history.
In that game Essien’s 9th minute opener appeared to have the Blues on course for a second consecutive final, but it is Pep Guardiola's side that will do battle with Manchester United in Rome on 27th May.
The Ghanaian midfielder launched a hopeful left-footed drive goalwards as he latched onto a looping ball 25-yards from goal and looked as surprised as anyone to see his shot cannon in off the underside of the crossbar.
They were not to be denied, though, and deep into stoppage-time Iniesta broke Chelsea hearts as he lashed home an equaliser with Barcelona's first shot on target.
