Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has pointed out the 'mistake' Chelsea star Joao Felix made during the Blues' defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Frank Lampard's side face a tough task to qualify for the semi-finals after losing 2-0 at the Bernabeu.
That is despite a favorable start from the guests in the Spanish capital, with the Blues looking to cool off the La Liga giants.
With 100 seconds to go, Chelsea did it when N'Golo Kante scored a neat brace and put the ball past Felix.
The Portuguese was free in Madrid's half but he could only unleash a weak shot on Thibaut Courtois after being saved by Eder Militao. But Henry says Felix should have done better with the crucial opener through the defender, who should have fouled him or given him more time to shoot.
Henry told CBS: "You might think Joao Felix would have the guts in the box.
“Don't get me wrong, I've been in this situation before and it's not easy. “The easy thing for me is to be aware that you have to cross.
"That's the first thing you learn as a centre-back. When defenders chase, I cut in.
“Slow attacker or fast attacker, it will give you a 1v1 advantage or a red card. I've been in this situation, even though I'd like to think I've been called into the box.
"You think about it too much. I believe you always have time in the box, football time.
"When you don't score, you feel like time goes by so fast and you're not calm anymore."

9 Barca players for sale this summer
Barcelona's transfer plans in the summer are starting to become clearer.
Thanks to the latest updates, we can now compile a list of Barca players who could be sold in a few months.
Ansu Fati. The promising forward remains the most suitable player to leave the Blaugrana despite his reluctance. Barca will give him a discount because of a good salary and an attractive price. Ferran Torres. Spaniards are less likely to leave Camp Nou; however, if Fati continues to stay, the club will most likely try to push for the sale of Ferran.
Frank Kesy. Although Xavi seems pleased with the Ivorian, a potential swap deal with Inter Milan for Marcelo Brozovic remains a hot topic.
Jordan Alba. Barcelona are said to have considered selling the club's veteran due to his high salary, which could be a problem for the signing of Leo Messi. Furthermore, the 34-year-old no longer plays an important role in the team.
belly. Despite the winger's brilliant form with Osasuna, his departure would be an option if an attractive offer is received. Several Premier League teams are tracking the talented Moroccan player. Sergin's destination The American player is not in Xavi's plans despite his intention to bring in a new right-back. Many European teams are said to be interested in the 22-year-old.
Clement Lenglet. Barca will do their best to reduce the load on the struggling midfielder. Tottenham Hotspur may be interested in signing a permanent deal.
Samuel Umtiti. The Frenchman's rise to Lecce has made him a sought after man by many European clubs. Barca will accept the best offer.
Nico. The defensive midfielder doesn't look good enough to be a potential successor to Sergio Busquets. His loan stint with Valencia has been unsuccessful so a summer departure is a possibility.
