Drogba scored the penalty which handed Chelsea the Champions League title in 2012 and now he wants to fire the goals that dump them out of this year's competition.
He has admitted he is looking forward to the tie and has previously described going to Stamford Bridge as having two home games.
Chelsea go to Galatasaray for the first leg on 26 February with the return fixture three weeks later.
Drogba said: "Stamford Bridge is my house. I could score there even with my eyes closed."
As well as his daunting 'eyes closed' message he revealed his love for the Blues.
But he can't let that distract him as he has to carry on being a professional and do a job for his current club, Galatasaray.
He continued: "I left the club on a high and I think the supporters really loved what I did.
"I really enjoyed the time that I spent there and loved them and I still do.
"But now I am Galatasaray player and can give everything for this team.
"It is not going to be easy because I know this team, the manager and players.
"It is going to be very, very difficult but this is football and you never know.
"First, we need to do something in İstanbul.
"İf we want to believe in qualification, we need to do something in İstanbul and have to take good result."
