Five shocking penalty misses after poor Posh and Baggies shootout

Andriy Shevchenko (2005 Champions League final)

Ex-Ukraine striker Shevchenko’s career started on a downward curve when his penalty was easily saved by Liverpool keeper Jezry Dudek, wobbly legs in the best Bruce Grobbelaar traditions and all.

AC Milan were 3-0 and cruising in Istanbul at half time, but an inspired Reds fightback forced penalties in what is widely considered one of the best Champions League finals ever. Relive highlights below.

Gareth Southgate (Euro ’96 semi-final)

England and Germany are bitter football rivals, so centre back Southgate became public enemy number one by being the only taker to see his effort saved from a dozen penalties in this semi-final shoot-out.

Roberto Baggio (1994 World Cup final)

If you think Beckham skyed his kick, then Italy forward Baggio almost booted his penalty out of the stadium on the biggest stage there is. The Azzurri lost this final to Brazil in the USA, with this miss costing them in the shootout.

John Terry (2008 Champions League final)

Chelsea captain Terry slipped at the crucial moment in Moscow, to extend the Blues’ European Cup shoot-out with Manchester United, which the Red Devils then won when Nicolas Anelka’s kick was saved. Terry went on to win Europe’s elite club competition in 2012, however, to redeem himself.
