Man Utd fans mock Terry for his infamous penalty slip in UCL final

No matter how many years pass, Manchester United fans will simply never let Chelsea fans forget the moment John Terry slipped taking a penalty in the Champions League final.

The two Premier League rivals met in Moscow for the European Cup final and with the game to be settled on penalties, Chelsea captain Terry had the definitive say... for all the wrong reasons.

And on the 11th anniversary of United's Champions League final success over Chelsea, the club's fans were gleeful on Tuesday as they recalled Terry's infamous slip.

The game was closely fought with Cristiano Ronaldo's opener cancelled out by Chelsea stalwart Frank Lampard.

And when the match could not be settled with the addition of extra-time, it went to penalties, where Terry had a moment that would become defining.

United took first but soon fell behind in the shootout when Ronaldo missed the third spot kick after Carlos Tevez and Michael Carrick netted United's first two.

With Michael Ballack, Julian Belletti, Lampard and Ashley Cole converting Chelsea's first four, Terry stepped up as the fifth taker and knew if he scored, the Blues were Champions League victors.

But Terry failed to seize the moment, slipping moments before connecting as his shot sprayed wide, to the delight of United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.

One United fan wrote: '11 years ago today; John Terry changed the penalty order so he could take the match-winning penalty in a Champions League final only to slip, miss, lose, and sob his eyes out. Viva John Terry.'
