Bayern Munich knew what was coming the second they were drawn to play Chelsea in the last 16 of the Champions League.
The two sides have plenty of history in Europe, with the Blues winning both encounters in 2005 and 2012, the last of which was the Champions League final in Bayern's own Allianz Arena.
On that night, Chelsea famously came from behind with two minutes of normal time remaining thanks to a Didier Drogba header, before the Ivorian went on to net the decisive penalty in the shoot-out.
And on Monday morning immediately after the draw, they joked they had muted the words '2012' and 'Drogba' on Twitter as thousands of Blues supporters were fans quick to remind them of their success seven years ago.
Bayern at least got their hands on the trophy the following year by beating Borussia Dortmund at Wembley in their treble-winning season.
They will now travel to Stamford Bridge for the first leg on Tuesday, February 25, before Chelsea travel back to the scene of their most famous moment for the second leg on Wednesday, March 18.
