But, what made me pick it is the tremendous pressure as it was 0-0 and in Camp Nou .... and it was against Lionel Messi.

Chelsea and Norwich City game today stopped for 11 minutes after Drogba fell unconscious after his collision with the goal keeper. The way he fell was very painful to watch, he was hospitalized directly and still under exams. Early results shows that nothing to worry, and we hope that he is totally fine
When I saw the collision, I directly remembered a bit old incident, of the Saudi legendary player, Majed Abdullah with a similar injury and a similar painful fall.
