Video: Mauro Icardi with an extraordinary miss from a penalty routine Galatasaray
Mauro Icardi’s recent penalty miss for Galatasaray was quite the spectacle! During a match against Istanbulspor, Icardi attempted a creative penalty routine with his teammate Kerem Akturkoglu.
Akturkoglu rolled the ball to his left for Icardi to run onto, but Icardi side-footed the ball wide despite having an open net.
This miss has drawn comparisons to the infamous penalty attempt by Arsenal’s Thierry Henry and Robert Pires in 2005.
Despite the miss, Icardi redeemed himself by scoring the only goal of the match five minutes later, securing a 1-0 victory for Galatasaray.
