Chelsea legend Drogba sends support to Lukaku after spotkick miss

Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has sent a message of support to Romelu Lukaku after his spotkick miss in Friday's Super Cup shootout.

Lukaku's failed penalty gave the Cup to Bayern Munich in Prague.

However, former Stamford Bridge legend Drogba, now playing for Turkish giants Galatasaray, offered some words of support for the Belgium international.

The Ivory Coast international posted a photo of him with Lukaku on Instagram with the following message: "Only those who don't take a penalty never miss and you were strong enough to do it.

"You are learning, the same way I learnt with this red card in the final in Moscow or this semi-final against Barcelona!!!

"Keep on working hard better days are coming for sure. You are Chelsea, you're a blue and blues never give up."
