Barnes reckons Gerrard was more nervous for the penalty than he ever was during his playing career. He added: “Steven Gerrard is probably one of the coolest players ever.
“I don’t think he will have been as nervous as taking a penalty against Celtic, in front of the Celtic fans. This is probably the most nervous he felt.”
Gerrard says he had to milk the penalty after the flak he had received. He said: “It was definitely a penalty. Martin Skrtel’s excellent bursting through like a marauding midfielder. Stonewall penalty.
“There was only one taker from there and that’s me, in front of the Celtic fans. A little bit of pressure, I waited for (Artur Boruc) to go, and you have to milk it. I’ve had so much stick off them so they can have a bit back. There you go.”
