Lampard stands tall among heroes

On a night for heroes, Frank Lampard stood tall.

For a player whose talents have been so often hidden to the eyes of many, despite a career laden with medals, goals, and international caps, the midfielder enjoyed a night in the Nou Camp that surpassed most others during his long career.

Lampard admitted it himself. “This is one of the finest nights I’ve had in a Chelsea shirt,” he said. He was being modest. Even the most studious follower of his career would struggle to remember a better one.
