John Terry picked up a booking in Chelsea's Champions League clash with Liverpool and will be forced to watch the return leg
from the sidelines.
The skipper has revealed that he is disappointed to have received the yellow card and feels that it should not have been issued, even stating that Liverpool 'keeper Pepe Reina did not think that is was necessary.
The exclusion of Terry from the second leg at Stamford Bridge is something that Blues manager Guus Hiddink could do without, but the decision made by Danish referee Claus Bo Larsen will stand, as he thought the challenge made by Terry on Reina was late and reckless.
Speaking after the match, the Blues captain rued the decision made by the ref, claiming that it was a harsh call.
"I felt as though I went for the ball, that's all I ever do as a player," Terry told Sky Sports.
"I've spoke to Reina again and he said it wasn't a yellow card. He already knew I was on a yellow card and he was honest with me.
"It reminds of when Xabi Alonso was booked in a similar situation with Eidur Gudjohnsen a couple of years ago. He was crying after that game.
