Champions League despair for Forlan

Last updated : 03 May 2002 By Luke Thornhill
"When their goalkeeper made an error by coming out, the ball fell to me but I had bad luck," said the £6.75million forward.

"First, because Mikael Silvestre crossed in front of me, then because the ball was too high.

"I wasted time setting myself to kick it correctly and, as I had to lean backwards, my shot wasn't strong enough."

"When I saw Diego Placente clear the ball off the line, I wanted to kill myself.

"I looked to the linesman to see if the ball had gone in as there wasn't anything else I could do."
Forlan fires in the shot
