Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has said that there is "only one" Didier Drogba and that Chelsea will miss the Ivorian.
Mourinho was the manager who brought striker Drogba to Stamford Bridge eight years ago and he feels that Drogba's departure for Shanghai Shenhua will hurt the Blues.
"I believe Drogba is the big difference for them. I don't think you can replace him. You can buy top players and invest like Chelsea did, but there is only one Drogba, in the Premiership and Chelsea's history," Mourinho told Sky Sports News.
"Drogba means crucial moments. The final, a top match, Drogba is there. When the team is losing at home, Drogba is there. Chelsea will miss Drogba and Drogba will mean a few less points. But the team is good, with good players and they are European champions."
Mourinho also said that when he finishes his time with Real Madrid he will definitely return to the English game.
