"Lamine Yamal passed up the chance to give Barcelona the lead against Girona on Monday night in La Liga as he missed a penalty after Dani Olmo had been fouled."
"The teenager stepped up to take the kick but could only watch in agony as it hit the post and rebounded to safety."
"Bryan Gil and De Jong both enter the box and contest the ball. If a penalty is retaken because the goalkeeper moves forward by a millimetre, this one has to be retaken because both players enter the box early and the ball ends up in their area."
Lamine Yamal missed a penalty for Barcelona against Girona after Dani Olmo was fouled, with the shot hitting the post and rebounding to safety. Television replays suggest Bryan Gil encroached into the penalty area as the kick was taken and then contested the rebound alongside Frenkie de Jong, creating potential encroachment. Encroachment by outfield players into the box when a penalty is taken can require a retake under the same principles that mandate retakes for goalkeeper movement. The miss was Barcelona's third missed penalty of the season, more than any other La Liga team.
