Marcus Rashford has vowed to come back stronger after missing his penalty in England’s Euro 2020 final defeat to Italy, also thanking the majority of fans for their support after he was racially abused following the game.
‘I don’t even know where to start and I don’t even know how to put into words how I’m feeling at this exact time,’ he wrote on social media.
‘I’ve had a difficult season, I think that’s been clear for everyone to see and I probably went into that final with a lack of confidence.
‘I’ve always backed myself for a penalty but something didn’t feel quite right. During the run up I was saving myself a bit of time and unfortunately the result was not what I wanted.
‘I felt as though I had let my teammates down. I felt as if I’d let everyone down.
‘A penalty was all I’d been asked to contribute for the tea. I can score penalties in my sleep so why not that one? It’s been playing in my head over and over since I struck the ball and there’s probably not a word to quite describe how it feels.’
