Torres outburst sours Chelsea Champions League celebrations after shoot-out snub
Posted Monday, May 21, 2012 by Dailymail
Fernando Torres has revealed how he wanted to take a penalty but ‘they wouldn’t let me’ as the £50million striker suffered another insult during Chelsea’s Champions League shoot-out victory.
Torres was seen saying ‘yes’ when asked if he wanted to take a kick, but manager Roberto Di Matteo overruled him and included two defenders among his five takers and both scored. The decision was vidicated by Chelsea’s victory.
But now Torres will demand talks about his Chelsea future after confessing to an unhappy season spent mainly as a fringe player. Torres did not appear in the FA Cup final and did not come on until the 84th minute of Saturday’s win against Bayern Munich.
