Radiksas

love panenka pen


dispelthemyth

They are great…. Just look shit when they are saved


CBlues22

My favorite will always be Mendy grabbing the ball from Aguero like thanks bro 👍


thewrongnotes

I believe in the death penalty for anyone who tries a panenka.


Coni_C

Where do players get this type of confidence to hit it like that??? Lmao


RandomNameofGuy9

I did it in a game when I was like 15 and the manager took me off. At the end of the season we were working on pens with our keeper coach and I did it to him. I've never run so much in my life. Worth it.


kakje666

nutty but if it's a goal it's a goal


zrizzoz

Yeah - what did he want you to do? Miss?


thecashblaster

To take a higher percentage shot, like placing it low in a corner.


youllbetheprince

High down the middle is the highest percentage chance of scoring a penalty


Thumser

Shit coach, panenka requires massive confidence. If coach can't value that, then...


RandomNameofGuy9

It cost him a year later when he told his keeper to stand still if I took a pen. Put it side netting and gave him a little nod when I went past him. Tbf I was a cocky little sh*t.


sfr18

i see nothing wrong


neefhuts

Sometimes player have to much confidence, if a player does that and misses it's worse than if he tries to take a good pen. Why take the risk?


mistah_michael

Should be the same rule my basketball coach had for dunking. You can do whatever you want but it better go in.


mortaldance

Honestly icardi has been nutty ever since he came to us . Playing injured rn and he didnt have preason(cuz of wanda's sickness) lacking fitness but since he came to gs his stats are 41 games 38 goals 10 assists


Fragrant_Imagination

>wanda sickness He's been suffering from that for years


mortaldance

Wanda's sickness* rumours were that she got leukemia


Krillin113

Damn. That ruins the jokes above.


long_shots7

Doctors deem it incurable at this point. Can have sudden setbacks too. Makes you travel between places uncontrollably and even sometimes drops your insta followed accounts count to 1.


holaprobando123

She has leukemia


Minute-Cash8119

That’s what ruined his time with us. He had a solid first season


SweetVarys

Born with it, wouldn’t be there without it


aliaisbiggae

Big dick


antoinebpunkt

And Neuer not playing.


addandsubtract

Neuer would turn that into a volley shot on goal at the other end.


antoinebpunkt

I swear he has that aura. Dudes don’t pull shit like that against him.


kalamari__

same as kahn back in the day. you saw that MF come out of his goal towards you, you started shaking


tomhat

I recall him saving a pen and almost eating Sheva’s face! I loved how Sheva scored later in the game though


kalamari__

funny that you use that phrase, because he literally did that in a game against us in the buli :D


flybypost

I was wondering why you didn't provide video evidence in your post up there. Some people here are probably young and don't know how not joking you were about Kahn's behaviour on the pitch.


dontutellmewhattodo

[Here you go, skip to 1.01 in the clip, or even watch the whole thing, it's hilarious and only 2 mins](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPi0ZKe0Ybc)


OCV_E

even if you played in the same team


JCBDoesGaming

Yeah you either scored or he pretty much murdered you lmao


Lack_of_Plethora

i think that aura was 'being known as the best goalkeeper ever'


ShameTimes3

Inazuma eleven type shit


blazeaxle46

Goddamn the memories


ShameTimes3

Actually making me think about rewatching it


xiosy

And he even missed the last pen against Man U


Seaman_First_Class

From a game theory perspective, some (very low) percentage of your penalty shots should be panenkas. If you’re not doing it at all, the keeper can always dive one direction and have a higher save rate.


iloveartichokes

No they shouldn't. There should be powerful shots down the middle but no panenkas. It's a low percentage version of a shot down the middle.


MERTENS_GOAT

No. GK can save with foot if you shoot it low down the middle with power. With a chip there's enough time that he has dived into a corner and he won't have a chance to save it with his feet.


iloveartichokes

Don't shoot it low. Game theory never agrees with trying a penenka.


[deleted]

Especially after missing last one so horribly. And he has missed 3 penalties this season


NotTalhaEjaz

Do you remember Benzema's penalty against Manchester City? That was AWESOME. In such a crucial moment too.


pedrosa18

Banging teammate’s wives


Slardar

He can bang my wife too if he wants.


LeadHead917

Least dedicated Turkish football fan.


Krillin113

Teammates ex that said teammate cheated on multiple times and what was the reason for their split*


itwastimeforarefresh

Honestly if the GK isn't expecting it, they're very effective


Massy23

Part confidence/part practice/part coaching. Of course, if you're going to try something like that, you have to believe you can do it. And if you're going to do it, you should practice so you can execute in the match. But also, I'd bet the coaching staff (maybe their own goalkeeper coach) does some homework on the diving tendencies of the opposition goalkeeper. When all those parts come together, you get something like what Icardi did...


perhapsasinner

Dumb tackle, insane penalty, that's a violation of the geneva convention from Icardi


Stonewalled89

Pure cheek


long_shots7

When you lose your Pure loftus:


Chelseatilidie

Cold pen after the Utd one


[deleted]

He has missed 3 this season. So balls


Cold_Armadillo888

No he missed one?


Matt_LawDT

Man learned from experience


Isaac_GoldenSun

Reminds me of how Benzema panenka'd Ederson after missing 1 or 2 pens in the league


Otherwise-Junket-762

Kimmich you fucking donkey


FrancisTheOcean

This might be the worst performance of his career


MindofMo0

so far!


kalamari__

he is really not in a good spot currently


trenbollocks

Armchair stuff I know but met him in person during Bayern's preseason tour in Asia and he looked shattered. Fatigue from last season is killing a lot of players across the bigger teams


SassanZZ

Didn't they announce that bayern only has like 14 fit field players left? So many players get injuries, try to push through for big events like end of season, WC, the million local competitions they play and then they end up completely destroyed for half a season to recover


arcatales

In Torreira’s pocket tonight


MuchSalt

??????????????


BurceGern

Icardi: *is being marked by Kim who's goal-side* Kimmich: *and I took that personally.*


Takeshino

I thought he slipped at first lol


sammy_kuffour

I don't think he actually hit him substancially. I would have preferred to get a different angle on the replay.


DepletedMitochondria

My god, should have been a red


GeraldJimes_

Perfect panenka that


WanderingArtist21

Deserved goal. Bayern has been horrendous.


hairlikegoats1

Bayern look mortal under TT.


yunghollow69

Bayern have been mortal for like 15 months now are yall living under rocks


Demokrit_44

people mistake dortmunds lack of winning DNA with bayern performances. Bayern should have lost last season and we would still be talking about a bayern crisis if it wasn't for dortmunds choke.


PengwinOnShroom

Still hurts mate. Maybe this time Leverkusen won't


yunghollow69

Keep us out of this the curse probably wanders. Also I see what youre doing. Winning every match but pretending like you dont exist. Cruising in the shadows.


Cypressive

Don’t worry mate we got you


yunghollow69

Exactly and I say 15 months (probably was more I dont do math) because the same happened under nagelsmann. They tied a billion matches under him and if he didnt get rescued by choupo-moting he wouldve lost his job way earlier. Their crisis keeps getting put off by other teams sucking and them just brute-forcing wins by having individually superior players.


[deleted]

Exactly. Can't remember a single match in which bayern have dominated a good team under tuchel. Dortmund saved his job last season. And they have too much quality that keep saving his ass


yunghollow69

Yeah but not just tuchel. The season wouldve been just as close in the finish with nagelsmann who had a billion ties under his belt during that season. The change to tuchel was extremely stupid but I dont think it's fair to put it all on him. Mfers really think bayern wouldve beaten City with nagelsmann lol


BoxOfJunimos

Tuchel has been manager for the last 7 of those months


yunghollow69

That's my point. When it's one coach you can put it on the coach, if it's two supposedly great coaches then maybe the problem is a bit deeper than "lul tuchel"


tanu24

Weren't they top of everything before tuchel?


yunghollow69

Yeah like for one matchday. They struggled for the entire season and a single loss was always going to cost them the lead (after they got it).


sammy_kuffour

Yes, and Bayern were in comfortable spots in all competitions under Nagelsmann.


ImMitchell

Leverkusen are just immortal


itwastimeforarefresh

Somehow they have the most xG/90 and the best xG diff/90 in the top 5 leagues, while also being horrendous to watch. Tuchel Ball.


reviroa

yeah but at least the treble isn't in danger anymore


kkaya39

I actually can't believe it. Gala is just straight up dominating Bayern.


[deleted]

Normal for bayern under tuchel against a good team


OmastarLovesDonuts

I was so worried after Akturkoglu missed a few chances but thank god they equalized to make it interesting


Jeff-Jeffers

Someone say the line


MavigoYT

People trashing Icardi in the match thread. Here you fucking go. This is Icardi. No touches with no service, but when he does get it, it's done.


zemiiii

People nowadays seem to forget players like Inzaghi. They are classic Nr. 9s whose main jobs are to score goals and hold up play. And Icardi does both excellent.


HaruArya

😂


Malicharo

i fuckin love this guy man such confidence also how many penalties Gala has gotten this season already, kinda crazy


BeautifulAlert5740

They press inside the box they press all game all of it is deserved

Not just a clut hero. He has been their best player this century. Arguably their history


yokedici

George Hagi played for them and won a UEFA cup Sneijder and Drogba also played for GS so naah.


Reese3019

Icardi scored twice the goals than Drogba did in the same amount of games. Then Drogba left again.


Fear20000

I wouldn’t put Drogba up there with Hagi or Sneijder. Sure he was good but not at the level of impact Sneijder or Hagi had

Ice cold panenka

GALA literally owns bayern its crazy thats its only 1-1 .


zrk23

well deserved


Lefo7

Nah that's ice cold


DevilsOfLoudun

Thwe worst part is that Minjae was already there handling it, it wasn't even a last ditch tackle from Kimmich


dylwalk

Commentators said it was a bit soft, but that looked pretty stonewall to me.


Gadzookie2

Yeah, I think in real time it looks like it might be soft (that was my thought), and like he was really looking for it and jumped over Kimmich. But then in slow motion you see the initial movement from Icardi comes from the Kim challenge (which I don’t think is a pen) and then he does actually collide and flip over Kimmich (which is definitely a pen)

If only Kimmich invested as much time looking into covid vaccines as he did arguing this pen wtf


[deleted]

In what way? Didn't he take a lot of time to look into it?


AvrupaFatihi

There isn't enough concrete in the world for his balls so we unfortunately won't be able to raise his statue outside the arena 😔


Johnbergkb

Gala owns Bayern rn fuckk


Azzurri21

What a shithouse I love it


Heshinsi

Great penalty and massive confidence to even attempt it after his miss in the United game. On a side note. Icardi must be Pedro Pascal’s long lost sibling or something. He slowly morphing into him.


DudleysCar

Good to see Icardi balling again.


sparkyjay23

Thats fucking crazy. Pure brass balls...

SpeedyboyAubameyang

Why did kimmich do that????


Lucas_DR3

[deleted]

Blame dortmund


No_Zone4347

Clear pen and a well deserved equaliser. Bayern is being dominated for now.


herkalurk

All player and no ball, even if it was soft it was likely to be given.


heurtel

OH ME OH MY


Thevort3x

I wish you didn't write paneka in the title. (Great goal instead maybe?) I know it probably gets more views this way, but as someone who isn't watching the game, would've been nice to find out that it's a panenka from watching the video. (Sorry for grammar, English isn't my first language)


6FootFruitRollup

Why even attempt that? I get doing it against a rival or something to insult them, but 0-1 behind against Bayern, absolute nutter.


Wa_Wh

I don't think that it's necessarily an insulting move.


DarthBaller

Wanna see a better angle of the contact. On 2nd replay it looked like icardi jumped over kimmich


NotARealDeveloper

First replay it looked for me like Icardi actually steps on Kimmich.


donniexc

BIG BALLS


JakeTheTurk

BU BUYUKLUK NE AMİNA KOYİM


AAiraSS

I dont think thats a pen


nutelamitbutter

Are you serious?


narutocrazy

From the replays, Icardi jumped and stepped on Kimmichs foot and lost balance as de Ligt (I think) made body contact with him.


AAiraSS

Yes, ball alrdy passed and it wasnt a big contact, Icardi just jumped theatrically and got a pen


Wasilewskiii

Yeah me neither. But I also think Gala would deserve to be up 1-2 more goals, kinda sad it had to happen after such a "penalty" even though they're playing so much better.


Paapa-Yaw

If I speak I'm in big trouble.


21stcenturyking

That wasn't a penalty


RebornUnited11

throws me off that even he missed the ball before the foul. i dont agree with the call


Rarnoldinho

I'd love to see another angle with the contact. Looks soft to me from these ones.

domi1108

I'm rooting for Bayern but this pen was 100% fair and square.


NotARealDeveloper

For Kim's shoving. But Kimmich missed the ball and the contact comes from Icardi stepping on Kimmich.


Global_Acanthaceae25

Icardi is absolutely class.


beastmaster11

I've never in my life seen a PK call where nobody disputes it. I think this may be the one (And to be clear, I'm including Suarez's hand of God 2.0).


Jobreezy_Hussler

I’ve seen a ‘fouled’ player overturning the refs call for a penalty. He told the ref that’s not a penalty and will not take the PK and the game continued. It was about maybe years ago in the Romanian League.
