He even scored once more on a short loan return in 2012. ๐Ÿ… His four Golden Boots came from a rare mix of pace and composure in front of goal. ๐Ÿ† Drogba was the big-game player. In the 2012 Champions League final against Bayern Munich he headed an 88th-minute equaliser and then scored the decisive penalty to give Chelsea their first European Cup. ๐ŸŸ๏ธ He scored in the 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2012 FA Cup finals โ€” the first player to score in four โ€” and won the Golden Boot in 2006-07 and 2009-10. ๐Ÿ“Š By the numbers โ€ข Henry: 228 Arsenal goals (175 in the league), four Golden Boots โ€ข Drogba: 88th-minute equaliser in the 2012 final โ€ข Drogba: scored in four FA Cup finals, two Golden Boots โ€ข Drogba: four league titles (2005, 2006, 2010, 2015) ๐Ÿ”ญ Why it matters Henry is remembered for consistency and records, Drogba for decisive moments.
