Jose Mourinho's side punished a sloppy Reds outfit who were inches away from sealing a first title in decades as they battled with Manchester City in the final games of the season, and Chelsea proved to be their final stumbling block.
Goals from Ba and Willian, both from counter attacks, ensured a day of misery for Liverpool fans that will go down in Premier League history - with City going on to win the league after Brendan Rodgers' men imploded.
Speaking to the Athletic, Ba said the Blues took no pleasure from causing the heartbreak and just savoured the three points - and admits had no clue the game held so much significance until a few years had passed.
'It was traumatic for them,' he said. 'But we didn't enjoy the fact that we killed their dream, we simply enjoyed winning.'
'I only realised how big a deal that was a couple of years later, when people still talked about it. They still talk about it!'
