The former England international walked up to the spot with the pressure firmly on him, after Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty had been saved by Petr Cech.
“Basically, all the Chelsea boys I had played with pretty much my whole life,” he recalled. “Joe Cole, Wayne Bridge, Ashley Cole, John Terry... they were [in] my England Under-21 team. Ballack was with me at Bayern [Munich] for years.
“I remember walking up and thinking: those idiots are going to tell Cech that I’m going top-left.”
Hargreaves explains how he wrestled with conflicting thoughts as he approached Cech in the Chelsea goal.
