Zaza and Baggio’s are the two I normally think of. Both basically sending Italy out of two major tournaments.

Waddle 90. It’s still coming down
Had to scroll way too far to see this one. My brother in law knows the guy who’s got the ball 😂
It was my parents evening. That happened, and 5 minutes later I got bollocked for lack of application in geography
Baggio because of the stage and the player
- Baggio
- Trezeguet vs Italy
- Knockaert vs Watford
- Ghana vs Uruguay
Club football wise, John Terry for sure.

Baggio 94 and Southgate 96 for me I guess they are my earliest memories of major penalty shootout failures.
It’s either Baggio or Terry.
Take your pick.
John Terry ECL.

Wasn’t that an OG

John Terry 2008 CL final.
In typical JT fashion, he places himself last to potentially score the winning pen.
Mr Chelsea, Missed a Penalty
That was an iconic miss. If Drogba didn’t get sent off, he probably would have scored the winner.
Maybe not the most meaningful, but Peter Devine.
Final penalty in a cup match, and if you want to see the others that went before, skip to 2:11:35 or so…
Obviously Baggio is iconic, but as an Italian I would point at the two missed penalties of Evaristo Beccalossi against Slovan Bratislava. Missing two pens in a game is a big deal but not a unique case, but the Paolo Rossi (the comedian, not the player) monologue about that story makes is very much iconic.
Freely translating the intro of the monologue:
"This monologue is dedicated to two of the biggest untapped talents in world culture, who made some of us - even if losers - to think to be meant for a future victory.
These two talents in the fields of culture, music, art, evolution in general, to me are Charlie Parker and Evaristo Beccalossi.
I get that maybe many of you don’t know who Charlie Parker was, so I’m going to explain who Beccalossi was."
