With the knockout stages of the Champions League upon us, we’re going to be seeing a lot more of the heartbreak/happiness that accompanies penalty shootouts.
And some of the best in the game of spot-kickery have spoken about the pressure that comes when there’s just 12 yards between glory or grief.
In a promotional video for adidas, Steven Gerrard, Luis Suarez, Diego Costa and a host of other footballers have revealed that it’s not as simple as it looks when the referee points to the spot.
