It was. Keeper went to that side before the kick. Not enough power or well enough placed. Easiest pk to save
Wasn't crap like some you see, but Higuain puts it in the same place 90% of the time so it's hardly rocket science for a keeper, do a full length dive that side and it's a save chance.

Fuck how hard can it be to score from 11m? Its easy as fuck, if you just watch the keeper or power behind it.
If you are a professional footballer who is paid millions, especially a striker, you should be scoring at least 95% of the pens. Anything else is unacceptable.

The fault ultimately lies with the managers. I'm sure most players don't take more than 2-3 pens in training per week. If they start taking 500 per week, things will be different.

Happens .Happens Pirlo to miss,Dybala to miss,but I think that this penalty should have be taken by Dybala.We must score another in order not to worry in the last 10 minutes.Would be great if Higuain does that.

I remember reading somewhere that in top flight football, the conversion rate is actually around 75%

Higuain is mentally stronger than Dybala, but not immune to pressure.
Dybala this year has a lot of phycological pressure due to personal matters and still is very young to handle some things.
It's good that Higgy takes some pressure off him.
Dybala executed and scored the FK, there is fair play among them and so now Higgy had to try, unlike Dybala, Higgy seemed determined to outdo his mistake and will see him trying that fiercily in the second half.
Maybe Pjanic should be our primary PK taker, he is so strong mentally, always focused and determined!

This comment always makes me laugh. Like the amount of money you're paid correlates to being able to score penalties.

They are a science of their own, you vs the keeper. It's a question of technique and bottle. If what you said was true most shoot-outs would end 10-9. Some defenders are good at them, some strikers are terrible at them.

Agree with a previous comment on Higuain, he's an instinctive shooter of the ball. Quite a lot of players have a weakness when it comes to having a lot of time to think.
