'I don't think I'll ever get over it': John Terry opens up on his 2008 Champions League final penalty miss - as former Chelsea captain admits he still 'wakes up and can see it'

John Terry has opened up on his infamous penalty shootout blunder during Chelsea's 2008 Champions League final defeat against Manchester United.

Terry took what could have been the decisive penalty at the end of a 1-1 draw in the first-ever final between two English clubs, but slipped on the run-up and hit the post to send the shootout into sudden death.

Nicolas Anelka went on to miss Chelsea's seventh spot-kick to hand Man United a domestic and European double, but Terry's miss is still seen as the decisive and iconic moment at Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium.
