'I was very angry when he missed the penalty because it was a chance that I knew a lot of the young players wouldn't get. I'd won the Champions League before but John had to be the leader' Chelsea man on John Terry's famous penalty miss

In the 2008 UEFA Champions League final, John Terry's penalty miss became an iconic moment that denied Chelsea victory. As captain, Terry slipped while taking the decisive kick against Manchester United's Edwin van der Sar, leading to a Chelsea defeat after a shootout they had appeared to control. Former Chelsea player Claude Makelele revealed that Terry had ignored the pre-agreed order of penalty takers, stepping in to take a kick meant for Salomon Kalou, which ultimately contributed to their loss in this high-stakes match.

We made a big mistake ahead of the penalties. We had an order which was agreed with the players and the manager, but it changed at the last minute.

It was supposed to be Salomon Kalou taking the last penalty but John [Terry] took the opportunity off him. I think we lost this competition because football is very harsh sometimes.
