Jens - I thought I was meant to take the penalty!

It was a moment that was pure Jens Lehmann.

As Tomas Rosicky stepped forward to take the penalty that could win the game for Arsenal Legends against Real Madrid, our goalkeeper had other ideas.

Lehmann took the ball, put it on the spot and crashed it into the roof of the net to win the game. But what exactly happened?

This is what Jens told Arsenal Media:

on whether he was down to take a penalty…
I thought so, yes! I was one of the fitter guys so I was supposed to take one.
