Not a very clever last penalty from Porto. Pause this at 11s and Raya is already going to his left well before the player takes it but as he's just looking at the ball he doesn't see it.
tbf, he put it on target. The pressure must be huge...

Indeed but you watch most penalty takers and they are always looking at the keeper, not the ball. You really shouldn't need to look at the ball, which is why penalty takers who take long run ups always worry me.
I'm exactly the opposite. Sod the keeper, hit the corner.
Raya would have saved mine last night if he had gone the right way
That's it though, do that and you have 50/50 chance of the keeper saving it or getting close.I'm exactly the opposite. Sod the keeper, hit the corner.

I always gave a sly look at one corner (that I wanted the keeper to notice) and then went the other way.
I always belted it in the bottom corner and if the keeper even moved I was surprised. If he went the right way he wouldn't get anywhere near it.
But most of these keepers were idiots who would need a running jump to reach the post
I only sent the keeper the wrong way once, in a five a side competition, and that is only because he saw me take a penalty in the previous game and I knew which way he was going to dive.
