Mauro Icardi Recreates Henry and Pires' Infamous Penalty Miss in Turkish Super Lig
During a Turkish Super Lig match this past Tuesday, Galatasaray's forward, Mauro Icardi, revived memories of Thierry Henry and Robert Pires' notorious penalty mishap. Icardi's attempt went awry as he side-footed the ball wide, despite a golden opportunity provided by Kerem Akturkoglu's short pass during the spot-kick. To the astonishment of fans, Icardi missed, even though the Istanbulspor goalkeeper had already committed to a dive in the wrong direction, echoing the blunder of Arsenal's 'Invincibles' duo in 2005.
This audacious tactic of a short pass during a penalty has been witnessed before in football history. Notably, Barcelona's former pair, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi, successfully executed the same maneuver against Celta Vigo in 2016, with Suarez completing a hat-trick as Messi rolled the penalty kick to the right, allowing the Uruguayan to slot the ball into the net.
Despite the initial embarrassment of the missed penalty, Icardi swiftly made amends by scoring a goal just five minutes later. This secured Galatasaray a 1-0 victory over Istanbulspor and propelled them to the top of the Super Lig standings, one point ahead of Fenerbahce, who have a game in hand.
