Anybody watching might have instructed you that it went over the bar.
Francesco Totti preferred a Panenka. His effort towards Edwin van der Sar at Euro 2000 is among the best he has ever tried.
However the icy Italian didn’t do effectively. He really missed 19 of the 105 penalties he tried, however few had been extra embarrassing than this one towards Lecce in 2005.
Vincenzo Scignano didn’t even need to transfer.

It is the 98th minute of a recreation you actually cannot afford to lose, and from nowhere you get a penalty that can absolutely be the final kick on the ball.
You could have to make it depend.
So what do you do?
You actually don’t hit it harmlessly in the center, straight into the gloves of the glove, which prices your workforce a very important level and sparkles the membership’s common penalty taker, with whom you argued to take the kick in the primary place.
When you’re not Fulham’s Ademola Lookman, that is precisely what you do.
This was probably the worst Panenka effort of all time, and in keeping with the proof on this piece, it says one thing.
