Devil Drog - Didi will put bite on Barca

EYEING REVENGE ... Chelsea striker Didier Drogba
DIDIER DROGBA reckons Barcelona don’t like him when he is angry.
And he is desperate to end his Chelsea career with a bang — by helping them finally lift the European Cup.
The last time the Drog ran into Pep Guardiola’s team he was hit with a six-match UEFA ban for a wild-eyed rant following Chelsea’s controversial defeat in the 2009 Champions League semi-finals.
Now the striker, 34, who looks certain to quit Stamford Bridge in the summer, is ready for the renewal of Euro hostilities in another semi-final clash tomorrow.
He said: “A lot of things have changed since we last played Barcelona but our desire to beat them is as strong as ever.
“I signed for Chelsea to play in games like this. These are the occasions that excite us all.
“We have many memories from our previous games against Barcelona — good ones as well as bad.
“This tie is 50-50 but we are ready for them.
“We expect to win something every year at Chelsea. That’s why I’m here.
“Last season was a bad one for me because I didn’t win anything so I’m hoping that this time it will be different.
“But it’s not about what happens in my last year here. Success for Chelsea is the most important thing.”
Drogba admits he struggled to come to terms with being left out of the big games by former boss Andre Villas-Boas.
