And this is it!

Chelsea fans across the world are celebrating their team's historic Champions League win, as a victory parade in west London is planned.

Hordes of jubilant supporters are expected to salute their heroes during an open-top bus parade after the dramatic victory over Bayern Munich.

The procession is due to start from Stamford Bridge at 16:00 BST.

It comes less than 24 hours after the Blues won 4-3 on penalties at Bayern Munich's home ground in Germany.

Bayern had looked on course to win their fifth European Cup when they scored late in the game to give them a 1-0 lead.

But Didier Drogba equalised from a corner in the 88th minute to take the match into extra time.

A penalty by Bayern's Dutch winger Arjen Robben was later saved by Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech, leaving the final to be decided in a shootout.

As well as the Champions League trophy - the first time it has ever been won by Chelsea or any London club - the players, management and staff of Chelsea will show off the FA Cup during the parade.

The Blues beat Liverpool 2-1 at Wembley on 5 May to clinch that silverware.

No, I don't understand why a sports team would want to sponsor.., a sports team.

Luckily, I live five minutes up the road from Team McLaren's base in Woking U.K. so I am legally allowed to follow their progress.
