He has been quoted saying,
"It's contradictory because I feel like I’m at a peak moment in my career, with more desire and hunger than I’ve felt in a long time but I've had to spend the final on the bench," he told AS.
"It was a huge disappointment when I saw the line-up, perhaps the biggest in my life.
"I wanted to take a penalty but they didn't let me."

"We've had a lot of talks and we’ll talk about my future because the role I've had this season is not for me, nor is it the one I expected to play when I came here. I’m not comfortable.”
"Football has been fair on us, on me. Now I do feel like football is worth it but I've been through a difficult time. The worst in my career. [I] don’t want that again," he added.
"There’s been many times when I've felt lost, I wasn't sure what to do. I felt like I didn't know where I belonged.
"I'm eternally grateful to my family who have been by my side and also for the support of the owners who have stuck by me. And especially to the fans, if it hadn't been for them this season I would have given up.”

I don't know whether to give him the benefit of the doubt as I guess every player wants to play in finals, but did he really need to voice his displeasure so publicly? It isn't as if he has been lighting the pitch up or scoring regularly to even warrant a place in the starting line up. What compounds him even more is that the player starting ahead of him, Didier Drogba is performing every time so he really doesn't have a leg to stand on. If anything he has been woeful in front of goal and if it wasn't for his recent flurry and the fans staying behind him, his reputation could have been totally destroyed by now.
Getting on to his point about not being aloud to take a penalty, is he really going there? I have never ever seen him take penalty in my life, so why would he decide that in the final of the Champions League this would be the perfect opportunity to start. Would any of you guys picked ahead of Cole and Luiz?
I also remember times this season like against Birmingham City in the Fa Cup where he was offered to take the penalty to help end his drought and he turned it down so really I think his comment about not being allowed to take a penalty is just petty.
I still think he is a great player and hope that he stays with Chelsea but just wish he wouldn't moan about his treatment when to be fair he has been treated a lot better then maybe he should have with respect to how many goals he has gotten for the amount of money he was bought for, just imagine if it was Heskey in his position he would have been shot by now. Hopefully he sees sense, has a great European Championship and comes back to Chelsea next year the old Torres scoring the great goals.
