Timo Werner's first season at Chelsea has been far from the greatest.

The German striker scored goals for fun at RB Leipzig, but has lost his shooting boots since donning the famous blue shirt.

Prior to Saturday's Champions League final, Werner had scored just two goals in his last 21 games for club and country.

That's a pretty woeful record and the Chelsea man's lack of form in front of goal was on show for all to see in the early stages of the final against Manchester City.

With less than 14 minutes on the clock, Werner missed a glorious chance from Kai Havertz's pull back.

The German striker scuffed his left-footed shot, with the ball then hitting his right boot and ending up behind him.

It was yet another moment to forget for Werner...

Oh, Timo.

City almost scored at the other end straight after his blunder and that would have summed up Werner's debut season at Chelsea perfectly.
