There were mixed emotions for Pavel Nedved last night after he helped Juventus to the Champions League final.
The Czech scored the third goal in a 3-1 win over Real Madrid, but was booked for a foul on Steve McManaman and will miss his side's trip to Old Trafford through suspension.
"I am happy to have played my part, but very sad to miss the final," he said. "I am so sad I could die.
"I didn't really think about the tackle. I was in trouble and just went to win the ball, I fell and was booked for my challenge.
"I will suffer more watching the game in the stands than playing on the pitch. It will be difficult."
