Didier Drogba has done his best to lift the spirits of Romelu Lukaku, after the Chelsea striker missed a crucial penalty in their Super Cup defeat to Bayern Munich.
With the penalty shoot-out poised at 5-4 to the Germans, Lukaku stepped up for the Blues’ last spot-kick, but his tame effort was comfortably saved by Manuel Neuer to hand Bayern their first silverware of the season.
But former Chelsea striker Drogba, who himself scored the winning penalty against Bayern Munich in last year’s Champions League final, has offered some wise words to Lukaku via Instagram, showing despite leaving the club a year ago, his heart is still at Stamford Bridge.
He Wrote;
‘Only those who don’t take a penalty never miss and you were strong enough to do it. You are learning, the same way I learnt with this red card in the final in Moscow or this semi final against Barcelona!!! Keep on working hard better days are coming for sure. You are Chelsea you’re a blue and blues never give up.’
In the message, the Ivorian referred to the red card he received in the 2008 Champions League final in Moscow, as well as the penalty he gave away against Barcelona en route to their 2012 success.
