'I have learned a big lesson' - Barkley opens up about embarrassing videos

The Blues midfielder spoke about being filmed on camera phones in his personal life after being caught in an uncompromising moment

Ross Barkley has addressed two videos that were sold to newspapers showing him in embarrassing off-field situations and he admits that he has learned a “big lesson” from a pivotal career moment.

The 26-year-old returned to the pitch after a long spell out at Chelsea and scored in the 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest before answering questions on off-the-pitch issues that have become a talking point.

Frank Lampard has been critical of his midfielder in recent weeks, but also sympathetic that footballers get little privacy in the modern world of mobile phone cameras and social media.
