Nemanja Vidic recalls moment Didier Drogba wanted to punch him during Manchester United vs Chelsea Champions League final

The two men enjoyed numerous physical duels during the mid 2000s as both sides contested domestic honours.

But it was on the European stage when they had perhaps their most famous battle.

With the scores tied at 1-1 on a rain-soaked night in Moscow, tensions boiled over in extra-time and Chelsea were reduced to 10 men when Drogba was shown a red card for lashing out at the Serbian centre-back.

“Drogba wanted to punch me during the game,” Vidic recalls in an interview with The Athletic.

“At first I was thinking: ‘What is he doing?’ Then I went towards him. I was stupid, so was he. He was sent off.”
