Chelsea supporters will love Bayern Munich's reaction after Champions League round of 16 draw

Chelsea's Champions League round of 16 draw has been confirmed.

And it has prompted a huge reaction from supporters on social media as they will face Bayern Munich - who topped their group which contained Tottenham Hotspur - when the competition resumes in the new year.

For the Blues, the tie evokes wonderful memories.

Chelsea 'not taking enough chances' says Frank Lampard

Back in 2012 they surprised many by overcoming Napoli and Barcelona to reach the final and then against all the odds they went on to beat Bayern on penalties after Didier Drogba had equalised in normal time.

The game also saw Petr Cech save a penalty from ex-Blues winger Arjen Robben in extra-time.

What made the victory all the more sweeter for Chelsea is that they became the first London side to win the Champions League - a feat which stands to this very day after Spurs' loss in the final last season.

However, for Bayern Munich the 2012 final is one they want to forget.

They were heavy favourites for the game which was played in their own stadium and have taken to Twitter and done something that many Chelsea fans will love.

As seen in the image below, the @FCBayernEN account has muted the words '2012' and 'Drogba' so that they don't get constant reminders of that night at the Allianz Arena.

But as mentioned above, some Chelsea fans are recalling that special night in Munich.

Take a look at what's been said on Twitter...
