Didier Drogba blasts Jose Mourinho directly in the face with champagne

Chelsea TV provided some impressively in-depth analysis of the team’s celebration after clinching the Premier League title with a win against Crystal Palace. Included in that analysis was a clip that will make Jose Mourinho’s supporters and detractors equally happy.
