Certainly the most memorable game of them all. The scenario of this game is legendary for many reasons. With the tie on the balance following a 1-1 draw in the first-leg, Laurent Blanc and his players battled their way to the quarterfinals of the competition down to 10-men for most of the game following Zlatan Ibrahimovic's controversial red card at the 30th minute of the game. With 10 minutes left Chelsea opened the score and thought to have punched their ticket for the next round, however, five minutes later David Luiz, scored an incredible thumping header to level the score against his former side and sent the game to extra time. In an incandescent Stamford Bridge, Eden Hazard put his side back on top from the penalty spot and once again thought to have overcome their opponents. However, just before the end of the game, club captain Thiago Silva elevated himself higher than anyone else and delivered a perfect header to lob Courtois and qualify his team for the next round. It is without a doubt one of greatest moment in the history of the club in the Champions League.
