A depressed Julio Cesar walked home after Bayern loss

Mario Gomez scored a late goal to give Bayern Munich a 1-0 lead over Inter going back to Germany for the second leg of their Champions League tie on Wednesday. It wasn't exactly revenge for last season's Champions League final as some have declared, because, you know, there is still a second leg to play. Yet, Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar is taking it rough. He's blaming himself for allowing Gomez the chance and, like a sad Charlie Brown, he decided to walk home from the San Siro after the match.

From Reuters:

Media reports said the Brazilian left his car in the SanSiro car park and walked the short distance home having alreadyapologised to fans and team mates for failing to cling onto theball before Mario Gomez scored in the last minute.

"A bad night can happen," Inter president Massimo Morattitold reporters on Thursday after the repeat of last year'sfinal.

"Julio Cesar has performed so many miracles in the past."

OK, so it sounds like he didn't exactly walk 500 miles, but still -- don't be so hard on yourself, Julio. What you did wasn't even that terrible. But between the crying you did in your post-match interview after Brazil got knocked out of the World Cup last summer and the rest of the crying you did at the airport upon returning home, you really need to ease up a little before you have shave your head and start attacking cars with umbrellas like Britney Spears.

Here's video of Mario Gomez's goal...

I've seen worse goalkeeping errors, Julio. Like from this guy.
