Avram Grant reveals what he told Terry after Chelsea captain's missed penalty in 2008 Champions League final

The Israeli manager was sacked after the Blues were beaten in Moscow but the coach made sure the centre-back knew how proud he was of him

Former Chelsea manager Avram Grant has revealed he told captain John Terry to be proud of himself despite the centre-back missing his penalty in the shoot-out as they lost to Manchester United in the 2008 Champions League final.

Terry slipped as he struck his spot kick after United and Chelsea drew 1-1 after extra time in the final in Moscow, seeing his effort fly wide when the Blues would have won the cup had he scored.
