Werner Rues Unluckiest Season Ever
Timo Werner has described the 2020/2021 season as his unluckiest ever but is still glad to make it to the Champions League final.
Werner’s ill-luck in front of goal in his debut season in England continued on Tuesday as he had two goals disallowed in Chelsea 2-1 win over Leicester City in the Premier League.
The 25-year-old German nonetheless made his presence felt by winning a decisive penalty which Jorginho converted.
Werner has only scored six Premier League goals to date but his contribution has helped Chelsea reach the Champions League final against Manchester City next week.
"I think the first half particularly was the picture of the whole season for me up to now," the former RB Leipzig man, whose 27 offsides rank joint-fourth in the top flight, told Sky Sports after the win over the Foxes.
"I was, every time, close but at the end not really close. I think for me maybe [it was] the unluckiest season I have ever had and will have maybe, because it can't be worse.
"For example, the offside, okay the 10th time, I don't know how close it was, then a clear penalty for us. Of course I was surprised [it wasn't given] because for me it was a clear penalty.
"And then the first one, I want to make a header and I get a little push and put my arm out and then the ball goes exactly against my arm.
"I didn't know [it would be ruled out] because I felt a touch on my hand but didn't realise how it was. You see it on the picture that I get a little hit from behind and then my arm goes forward and it touches.
"Unlucky the whole season. When you have a season like this and you are so unlucky and you still in the Champions League final and maybe reach the Champions League next year, all good."
