5 sensational penalty misses by goalkeepers 

#2 Manuel Neuer

Manuel Neuer is among the best goalkeepers in the world. His ability on the ball in itself makes him a standout sweeper-keeper when compared to others. However, those skills couldn't stop him from missing a spot-kick.

One of the best things about this shootout was that none of the players in Bayern Munich’s side could score from any of their respective spot-kicks, such was the quality – or, in this case, lack of - of the shots that were taken.

It was a DFB Pokal semi-final encounter between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. After the playing a total of 120 minutes in the game, both the teams were tied by one goal each. Obviously, there needed to be a binary outcome and that is why penalties exist.

So began the spot kicks with Philipp Lahm and Xabi Alonso slipping whilst taking their respective shots and subsequently missing them. Meanwhile, Dortmund goalkeeper, Mitchell Langerak, saved Mario Gotze’s shot.

Up next was Manuel Neuer. He had to score to keep the contest alive. Unfortunately for him – and hilariously for Sergio Ramos, who, Neuer claimed, likes to take his penalties over the bar – he hit the ball straight at the crossbar and gave Dortmund the win and a place in the final of the cup competition.
