Atletico Madrid defender Juanfran has penned
an emotional letter to fans in the wake of his
missed penalty in Saturday's Champions
League final. The letter, which was published on Atletico's
official website, describes the 31-year-old's
"tremendous sadness" and gratitude to fans
for forgiving him the miss that allowed arch-
rivals Real Madrid to seal victory in a penalty
shootout. He said: "I will never forget your displays of
affection when I came to ask for forgiveness. "Seeing my tears reflected in the faces of the
thousands of Atleticos that packed that end of
the stadium helped me cope with the
tremendous sadness." In the end it was Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty
that saw Los Blancos lift the trophy for the
11th time, with Atletico leaving a Champions
League final runners-up for a third time. Referring to his club's 4-1 defeat by Real two
years ago, he said:"Two years ago,I told you
that we would return to a final,now I tell you
that Gabi, our captain, will lift the Champions
League soon.
