The England midfielder stepped up ahead of regular takers Jorginho and Willian before hitting the bar in the Blues' opening group game
Ross Barkley has been backed by Chelsea manager Frank Lampard and captain Cesar Azpilicueta, after his missed penalty in the Blues’ 1-0 defeat at home to Valencia in the Champions League.
The England midfielder swept his spot-kick against the crossbar after appearing to step ahead of regular penalty takers Jorginho and Willian, with the latter seemingly protesting his decision. Barkley had only been on the pitch for some seven minutes after coming on as a late substitute for Mateo Kovacic.
