He remained restrained after Chelsea were knocked out of the Champions League by Barcelona and even made a point of swapping shirts with Andres Iniesta."
Lampard's 20th goal of the season was the winning goal in the FA Cup Final against Everton, with a left-foot shot from long-range.

Lampard attended Brentwood School as a youngster where he obtained 12 GCSE's inclusing an A* in Latin, at school he was a model student and aside from being a footballer, his second career choice was to be a translator.[citation needed] When he joined West Ham, it was a case of a good boy getting in with the wrong crowd when he met Rio Ferdinand who had spent his childhood on a council estate being heavily influenced by urban culture, and a young naive Lampard was drawn into a friendship with Ferdinand and was influenced to do things that he would have never done had he not met Ferdinand.[citation needed] In 2000, Lampard, Ferdinand and Kieron Dyer appeared on a sex video that was filmed at the holiday resort of Ayia Napa in Cyprus. Channel 4 aired a brief clip as part of their 2004 documentary Sex, Footballers and Videotape, claiming it was used to "remind the viewer that this is based on real life."[49]
