The Chelsea football club have rallied behind Didier Drogba since their Ivory Coast striker angrily confronted the referee after the London club's dramatic loss to Barcelona in the European Champions League semi-finals.

Captain John Terry and manager Guus Hiddink both voiced their support for Drogba, but he still faces severe sanctions from UEFA in the aftermath of the match.
