Chelsea midfielder Willian admits he wanted to take last night's penalty in defeat to Valencia.

Ross Barkley took the spotkick and missed to hand Los Che the Champions League win.

Willian said: "I wanted to take it but he (Barkley) was confident to take it.

"This is football. He missed the penalty but it could be me that missed, or Jorginho or whoever. So football is like this. But when we win, we win together, and when we lose, we lose together."

Barkley added: "If there was another penalty in the game, I would have been confident of taking it,You can miss penalties. It's not the end of the world. We've got five more group stage games to go that we're aiming to win. The Valencia game just didn't go our way, it's disappointing really."
