While this is more than obvious, some penalty shootouts were more tragic than the other ones. Let\u2019s see what these \u201ctragic\u201d events are and which players left a traumatic mark on themselves, as well as the fans.<\/p>\n<h2>Sergio Ramos, Real Madrid versus Bayern Munich, Champions League 2011\/12<\/h2>\n<p>I will start off with one of the funniest ones, Sergio Ramos\u2019 catapult over Bayern Munich\u2019s goalkeeper. It was the Champions League semi-finals. The aggregate was 3:3, and Los Blancos and the Bavarians went on to a penalty shootout.<\/p>\n<p>Sergio Ramos kicked the ball high above Neuer\u2019s head, after which Schweinsteiger scored for Die Bayern. This penalty is, in fact, tragic as it cost\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/17832633\">Real Madrid to lose to Bayern<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5689 size-full\" title=\"The Most Tragic Missed Penalties in Football\" src=\"http:\/\/www.free-football.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Missed-Penalties-in-Football.jpg\" alt=\"Missed Penalties\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.free-football.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Missed-Penalties-in-Football.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.free-football.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Missed-Penalties-in-Football-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Michel Platini, France versus Brazil, 1986 World Cup<\/h2>\n<p>One of the biggest legends of football, Michel Platini, took a less-than-conventional penalty in one of his national team’s most important matches. More specifically, Ramos\u2019 miss was pretty similar to that of Platini.<\/p>\n<p>The Frenchman took a long run up and put a little too much pressure on the ball. It flew high above. Although France won this encounter, Platini got much scorn for this unwise move.<\/p>\n<h2>Pat Nevin, Chelsea versus Manchester City (1984\/85)<\/h2>\n<p>Yet another funny penalty kick we have here. Pet Nevin, one of the best\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.free-football.tv\/introducing-chelsea-fc\/\">Chelsea<\/a>\u00a0players at that time, took the ball after the Blues were awarded a free kick. No one really knows what Nevin really wanted to do.<\/p>\n<p>But many of us assume that he wanted to surprise United\u2019s goalkeeper and roll the ball on the floor. All this ended in an easy catch. Like Platini, Nevin did not cost Chelsea the win. On the other hand, his tragedy involved a lot of mockery.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5690 size-full\" title=\" Most Missed Penalties\" src=\"http:\/\/www.free-football.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Football-Missed-Penalties.jpg\" alt=\"Key Moments Missed Penalties \" width=\"700\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.free-football.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Football-Missed-Penalties.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.free-football.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Football-Missed-Penalties-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>David Beckham, England versus Portugal, Euro 2004<\/h2>\n<p>The genius behind free kicks and corner kicks, David Beckham, had some not-brilliant penalty percentages. There are many England missed penalties that fans remember. But for some reason, this one is often mentioned and talked about.<\/p>\n<p>The England superstar took a long run up and then launched the ball very high into the audience. Lots of fans and experts wonder about\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/sport2\/hi\/football\/euro_2004\/england\/3839357.stm\">Beckham’s weird performance<\/a>\u00a0at the Euro.<\/p>\n<h2>Roberto Baggio, Italy versus Brazil, 1994 World Cup Final<\/h2>\n<p>I guess I\u2019m a lover of vulgar displays of power. And I don\u2019t mean any physical altercation. I aim here at the biggest penalty misses with players who kicked the ball too hard.<\/p>\n<p>The same happened to Baggio, who needed to score in order to keep Italy alive. Well, he missed and let the Brazilians win this contest. Nevertheless, the Italian, and the rest of the players in this blog are not the ones with the most missed penalties in history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever known a professional footballer who has never missed a penalty?
