Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka has revealed that he didn't want to take a penalty for the club in the Champions League final against Manchester United. Anelka missed the crucial penalty that cost the Blues the game.
"I was on the bench for 110 minutes and the coach brought me on after warming up for no more than a minute. Then he asked me whether I wanted to take one of the penalties," Anelka told l'Equipe.
"Absolutely not, I said. I had to play as wing back and now he wanted me to take a penalty?"
