Chelsea’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/John-Terry-c18895 won’t feature in the Champions League final for the Blues.
The Blues took on Barcelona in the second leg of the semi final clash between the two teams at the Camp Nou. With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexis-Sánchez-c4979 in his back, via his knee.
As a result of the player’s actions, the referee went on to show the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 captain a straight red and this meant that he would miss out on the final game of the tournament.
Apart from Terry, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Raul-Meireles-c30678 will all be missing out on the game, but these players will miss out, due to the amount of yellow cards that they managed to pick up along the course of the tournament.
Lampard has gone on to admit that he is rather gutted by the whole situation and hopes that Terry doesn’t take the situation too seriously. At the same time, he went on to show his sympathies for the other banned players as well.
“There was no real malice in it [the challenge]. I’m gutted for him because everyone knows Chelsea’s in his heart,” Lampard told reporters.
"You've got to feel for all of them [Ivanovic, Meireles, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ramires-c30523 and Terry] and they're massive players that we'll miss"
"Whether we win or lose, those players who miss the final take complete credit for being involved anyway."
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Di Matteo for the work that he had done at the club and the way he had transformed things in the team.
"I can't speak highly enough of him," he continued..
"Look at our record - it's not a coincidence. He has got the group with an atmosphere, he has created a spirit and determination.”
Should Di Matteo go on and win the Champions League with the Blues, it is still not confirmed whether he would be appointed on a permanent basis or not, but he would end up putting a very good case in his favour.
