Didier Drogba has denied claims from Bayern Munich coach Jupp Heynckes that the Chelsea striker is an "actor" on the pitch.
The two sides meet at Munich's Allianz Arena on Saturday in the Champions League final.
Heynckes had been quoted as describing Drogba as an "oustanding actor" due the player's supposed diving.
When asked if he is an actor, the 34-year-old told reporters: "Oh, no, I don't think so. No, no, no."
Chelsea are hoping to win their first ever Champions League trophy when they take on the Bundesliga club this weekend.
