A former Chelsea star has revealed how John Terry changed the penalty order in their Champions League final defeat back in 2008.

The ex-Blues captain 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 shoot-out 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.

Now, Terry's former team-mate Claude Makelele has revealed that Terry was not initially meant to take the spot-kick but changed the order to try and be the 'hero'.

Speaking on The LineUp, brought to you by BetMGM and talkSPORT, he said: 'The dressing room after the game was like fire. There was no happiness whatsoever – it was a sad place to be.

'We made a big mistake ahead of the penalties. We had an order which was agreed with the players and the manager, but it changed at the last minute.
