The panenka has become legendary, year after year. A technical move that only the most seasoned players manage to master.
To attempt it, you need several things: confidence, composure, but also the ability to fool the goalkeeper. It's a true art.
In 1976, Antonin Panenka made this move famous. The rest is just legend. The greatest footballers have tried it and sometimes failed.
Brahim Diaz could have made history by bringing the Africa Cup of Nations to Morocco on January 19. Unfortunately, the player missed his attempt. A real disappointment for the Madrid player.
He is not the first to have failed, but let's still acknowledge the attempt.
Nevertheless, some attempts have been successful. And have become legendary goals. Here’s a small selection.
