Ten years, eh? Ten!
From Roberto Di Matteo to Rafael Benitez to Jose Mourinho to Guus Hiddink to Antonio Conte to Frank Lampard and now to Thomas Tuchel, via a couple of Premier League titles and another Champions League, it has been an eventful decade for Chelsea, but nothing that has happened to the club can match the events of May 19, 2012.
That was when the Blues finally achieved what Roman Abramovich had longed for the moment he bought the club nine years earlier, and what they'd never have dreamed was possible in the years previously. They were European champions.
After a 1-1 draw, Chelsea's penalty shootout victory over Bayern Munich in the German side's own backyard was celebrated by the club's fans the world over.
Didier Drogba scored a late equaliser, and then the crucial spot kick, but can you remember about some of the less-discussed moments of that night?
Here are five of them.
Munich loves the first-timers
This was the fourth different Champions League final in Munich, and the fourth different first-time winner.
With all three previous finals being held in the old Olympiastadion, the wins for Nottingham Forest (1979), Marseille (1993) and Borussia Dortmund (1997) were all the first time that any of those sides had lifted the trophy, and Chelsea followed suit with their first title in Bayern Munich's very own Allianz Arena in 2012.
Macclesfield Town for the next one, anyone?
John Terry wasn't the ONLY suspended player in his full kit
He's the one who gets all the grief for it - because it's funny, basically - but John Terry wasn't the only non-playing Chelsea player running around the Allianz in his full kit come full-time.
Both Branislav Ivanovic and Raul Meireles - who along with Ramires and Terry, were also suspended for the game - were seen celebrating in their full getup after the penalty shootout, but Terry is the only one we remember.
Again, because it's funny.
The match disrupted the G8 summit

Camp David came to standstill when the game was on, as David Cameron joined Angela Merkel and host Barack Obama in catching the clash beamed live into the G8 summit.
Cameron, a noted West Ham, er, Aston Villa fan, looked delighted when Drogba rolled home the winning penalty to leave Merkel distraught, and took the opportunity to celebrate for this completely accidental photo opportunity that he wasn't proud of at all.
Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole did something that only one man had done before

Chelsea's brave English boys were both successful from the spot in the penalty shootout, but this wasn't the first time that they'd faced this pressure from 12 yards in a Champions League final.
Both men had also scored from the spot in the defeat to Manchester United in Moscow four years earlier, and they joined Carlos Mozer (Benfica 1988 and Marseille 1991) as the only players to score in two different final shootouts.
The stats were incredible

Were Chelsea lucky? Well, yeah. Quite a bit.
Bayern Munich registered 35 shots and won 20 corners across the whole 120 minutes, compared to Chelsea's nine efforts and just one corner - from which Drogba headed home the equaliser.
Does anyone of a Blues persuasion care though?
Thought not.
