‘Werner is thinking but Iheanacho doesn’t hesitate’ – McCoist tips Leicester City star to finish Chelsea’s wasted chance vs Real Madrid

The Blues were not clinical enough in front of goal and they had to settle for a draw in the Spanish capital on Tuesday

Former Rangers striker Ally McCoist has backed Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho to convert Timo Werner’s missed chance in Chelsea’s 1-1 draw with Real Madrid on Tuesday.

10 minutes into the first-leg of the Uefa Champions League semi-final match, Werner had the opportunity to give the visitors the lead at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano before Christian Pulisic opened the scoring a few minutes later.

The Germany international missed a close-range chance that was saved by goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and McCoist suggested that he was not sharp enough to finish.
