'He won't get a better chance in ANY game of football, let alone a semi-final of the Champions League': 'Timid' Timo Werner's GLARING miss against Real Madrid 'sums up' the German's struggles in his first season at Chelsea, says Glenn Hoddle

Glenn Hoddle claims Timo Werner summed up his Chelsea career so far with his glaring miss against Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.

The Blues started the first half of the last-four tie brightly and were presented with an excellent chance to take the lead through Werner before the ten-minute mark after Mason Mount's run down the left.

The 25-year-old German - who scored his first goal in 15 games for club and country in the Blues' weekend win at West Ham - received the ball after Christian Pulisic's clever header from Mount's deflected cross shot at Madrid's Estadio Alfredo di Stefano.
