In case anyone is not aware.
Higuain had 5 goals-2 assists in 7 CL games while he was playing for Napoli.

The criticism of Higuain or really any #9, in isolated situations like "Europe", is always going to be silly. It's mostly team dependent. How many scoring chances can you generate for the striker. How much opportunity does he have? If you show me a Youtube click of Higuain missing 3 sitters in his career, well, that amounts to like 1% of his chances, so it could be simple variance.
If you want to tell me that he chokes on PKs in big moments then I can agree there because he has missed some famous PKs, maybe more than he has converted in such scenarios.
But there are situations like when Napoli was chasing CL and he missed that PK. Well, didn't he score 2 goals in that match just to get to that point? That is ignored. Napoli was relying on him to score 3 goals in that match weren't they? It's a different scenario at Juventus.
As far as missing sitters. There's basically a couple famous ones in his career. You can find that for any striker. It's not like Higuain suddenly becomes paralyzed any time he's on the big stage.
