Steven Gerrard has never been more nervous to take a penalty in his career than the one he notched up against Celtic.
That is the view of former Hoops flop boss John Barnes who says the Liverpool Legends vs Celtic Legends game was the perfect cauldron of atmosphere for the ex-Anfield skipper. There was a palpable back and forth of stick from the former Rangers boss to the travelling Celtic support during the 2-0 victory in Liverpool.
Gerrard slotted home a penalty before celebrating in front of the Hoops fans and objects appeared to be thrown in the direction of the former Champions League winner. After the game the Englishman couldn't resist a dig at his ex-rivals but Barnes believes behind the confidence would have been a real sense of nervousness to take the spot-kick.
