Ghanaian midfielder Michael Essien admits he was as upset as any Chelsea fan after their Champions League defeat to Inter Milan.
The injured Ghana star said: "I was on the bench watching the guys work hard to defeat Inter till Eto'o scored.
"At that moment I could feel the pain and disappointment in the stadium. I could see how hard the players were pushing to try and save the game and as the minutes ticked by I started to get that sinking feeling.
"I watched the highlights of the game on TV the next day and can still remember a little boy crying his eyes out and being consoled by his mum because we had been knocked out again. It's such an awful feeling and I am sure most Chelsea fans felt the same after the game."
