LONDON (Reuters) - Chelsea scored their biggest Champions League victory when they thrashed Maribor 6-0 at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday with a performance that underlines the belief that they are real contenders to rule Europe again.

Fittingly two heroes from their 2012 final triumph over Bayern Munich -- the returning Didier Drogba and skipper John Terry -- were back among the goals along with the outstanding Eden Hazard.
