Down to only ten men, 2-0 behind, Chelsea were surely going to lose this match. John Terry’s ridiculous red card only dealt the Blues with even more fate. But, the Universe had another plan…
Five years to the day in April 24, 2012, Nou Camp. The miracle happened.
WHAT A GAME! with a back three of Bosingwa, Ivanovic, and Ashley Cole, Cahill pulling his hamstring early on. Drogba playing left back (and even giving away a penalty to divey Cesc). Lampard, Mikel and Meireles working the hardest they ever have following Messi’s every step, the game looked like Barca’s
Untill Ramires scored the greatest Chelsea goal ever scored.
Ramires who’s currently playing in the Chinese Super League still maintains that day still remains “one of the most incredible experiences” in his career.
And Earlier today he paid tribute to the goal on social media:
You’ll always have a special place in my heart, @chelseafc Thanks a lot! Você terá sempre um lugar especial no meu coração, Chelsea! pic.twitter.com/NnrazE70PT

It was an amazing game for the Blues, one that will live in the hearts of every Chelsea fan, Barcelona on the other hand would rather forget about it, however, every year on this day, they are reminded of the Miracle that happened at Nou Camp.
