Terry unhappy at ban

April 9, 2009

John Terry saw his Chelsea side come from a goal down last night to take a 3-1 lead into the second leg of their quarter final against Liverpool but unfortunately the Chelsea captain will miss the second leg after picking up a yellow card for a foul on Pepe Reina but Terry claims even Reina didn’t think the challenge warranted a card.

“I felt as though I went for the ball, that’s all I ever do as a player,” Terry said.

“I’ve spoke to Reina again and he said it wasn’t a yellow card. He already knew I was on a yellow card and he was honest with me.

“It reminds me of when Liverpool’s Xabi Alonso was booked in a similar situation with Eidur Gudjohnsen (in the semi-finals) a couple of years ago. He was crying after that game. I’m obviously very disappointed.”
