HAUNTED: Berbatov is haunted by his FA Cup semi-final failure
Berbatov is so haunted by the criticism that followed his miss in the FA Cup semi-final shoot-out against Everton last month that he is not keen to put himself on the spot again in Rome.
Tim Howard saved his weakly hit shot at Wembley and, although Rio Ferdinand’s effort was also saved Berbatov became the scapegoat among Manchester United fans.
"It hurt a lot," he said.
"It's very difficult when you make a mistake and everyone is trying to attack you. I’m not sure I’m going to [take a penalty]. Let’s hope it’s not going to get to that.”
