Steven Gerrard Reveals Terrifying Moment Behind Liverpool’s Legendary Istanbul Penalty Shootout
“I wasn’t concentrating on Shevchenko’s penalty,” Gerrard tells FourFourTwo. “I was focusing on taking the next one for us, which was terrifying.
“I was absolutely sh**ting my pants, it was the most nervous I’d been on a football pitch. Having said that, if someone had offered me the chance to scrub my name off and not take it, I’d have told them that I still wanted to take it.
“People asked me if I was disappointed not to have scored the winning kick, but I didn’t want all of the glory and wouldn’t change anything from that night. I was glad when Jerzy blocked Shevchenko’s penalty.
