"Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski missd his second penalty of the season on Tuesday against Atletico Madrid at the Camp Nou. Lewandowski had the chance to put his team 2-1 up in the first half after Dani Olmo had been fouled. The Poland international stepped up but managed to send his effort flying high over the bar. The miss puts Lewandowski into the history books with an unwanted record."
"The striker is now the first Barcelona player to miss two penalties in the same season in the entire history of La Liga, according to MisterChip. Lewandowski also missed against Sevilla in the 4-1 defeat back in October and admitted afterwards it "hurts a bit" after passing up the chance to make it 2-2 in the game. The question now is whether Lewandowski will continue as Barcelona's first choice penalty-taker or whether Raphinha or Lamine Yamal may be handed the job instead of the veteran."
Robert Lewandowski missed a penalty at the Camp Nou against Atletico Madrid, shooting over the bar after Dani Olmo was fouled. The miss made him the first Barcelona player to miss two penalties in one La Liga season. He previously missed a penalty in the 4-1 loss to Sevilla in October and described the earlier miss as painful after missing a chance to level that game. The club now faces a decision on penalty duties, with options including Raphinha or Lamine Yamal as potential alternatives to the veteran Lewandowski.
