Frank Lampard chooses his favourite Chelsea moment between winning the Champions League and becoming the club’s record goalscorer.
Which was better of these two? Champions League 2012 or breaking the Chelsea's goal-scoring
record? The Champions League without a doubt. I think Cary will tell you and we both won it
once and I'm sort of happy in a way it was that way because it was so special and I'm sure it
was for you Cary. He won it as well. Yeah but you won it more than once or not? No, one and a half.
But you know I think for me it's such an elite competition and when we won it it's been so
many years that we tried and failed and we almost thought and I personally thought that
I was 33 I think when we won it that if it didn't happen that year I found it getting
harder every year. The standard of Barcelona and Real Madrid I think was improving and I don't
if we didn't win it that year I don't think we would have won it in my era there. So I was
it was a special special night. But that goal-scoring record as well your 211 is something
which you were very proud of. That was a massive personal thing for me and I didn't realise until
I did it how happy I was with it and yeah I mean personally but it is cliched but team wins are
better and particularly the Champions League it was something the club had never won and we were
in Munich against Munich it was a lot of special moments in the run-up to the final it was it was
the best night of my footballing career by some distance.
