Merson is concerned Chelsea will live to regret Timo Werner’s miss (Picture: Sky Sports)Paul Merson fears Chelsea may ‘end up regretting’ Timo Werner’s ‘shocking’ miss in their Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid last week. The former Arsenal midfielder thought Chelsea deserved to take a lead back to Stamford Bridge, but they only managed a 1-1 draw. Werner fired a point-blank effort straight at Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, when it appeared easier to score, and Merson is concerned that moment may come back to haunt them in the second leg. ‘Chelsea were just head and shoulders above Real and could have finished it then and there,’ Merson wrote in his Daily Star column.
