Jorginho missed in the league cup final didn't he?
Eden Hazard had a pretty good record for Chelsea thinking about it with similar technique.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Balotelli has missed 2 penalties for AC Milan in the same season once. I think overall he has at least 3 missed penalties. I know for a face both Reina and Perin saved his penalties.
Milner, Balotelli
Milner is annoyingly good and hammers them.

What’s Mark Nobles record? Seems to score 5 pens a season without missing.
Yaya scored (only) 15/15 pens in his entire career!

Milner has scored 30 and missed 5 (1 was in the U21 Euros). Fun fact he's had his penalty saved by two different Finnish goalkeepers.
3 of Gundogans penalties were youth team football. 6 penalties in 7 years isn't really a statistic worth mentioning.
Michel Platini had a 100% record. He scored 25 penalties.
Didn't know that Mile Jedinak had retired but he never missed one.
Luka Milivojevic took over from Jedinak and he's scored 21 in 24 which is slightly better than Milner. All of them but 1 were PL pens and that 1 he missed in Serbia.
Mark Noble has scored 34 out of his 38 penalties for West Ham which might be the best record from an active player.

Mile Jedinak was the one of the best in the world before he retired this summer. 16/16 record.
Albanian midfielder Ledio Pano apparently never missed from more than 50 penalties.

Didnt Le Tissier have an excellent penalty record?
Rickie Lambert has retired, but he was exceptional. Scored 50 and missed 3 according to Transfermarkt, but his last miss came in February 2009 and he scored 34 in a row after that.
Dirk Kuyt was 40-9. Nothing insanely good, but he scored a few high pressure ones for Holland. Arjen Robben's 19-3 isn't bad at all either, though he missed a fecking crucial one against Chelsea. He was also the one to lift our shootout nightmare against the swedes by scoring the decider in the euro's.
For an active Dutch player, Bas Dost is 32-2, which is quite amazing. Or Haller (not Dutch but feck it) 23-1. Weren't United linked to him?
Is Pogba really 7-4 in the prem? For someone from the ministry of silly run-ups, that's shocking.

And against Dortmund in the 2012 title race. 2012 wasn't a good year for him and pens.
Fabinho at Monaco was a very effective PK taker. In fact, Liverpool team has several amazingly good PK takers.
RvP was pretty accurate himself.
Cantona was pretty amazing at PKs himself.
Leighton Baines used to do it for Everton back in the days and I can't remember him missing.
Chilavert was flawless taking PK's.
Le Tissier record is terrific.
Dunno why, but Pirlo and Del Piero are the ones I remember as being an example of how to take PK's. They would vary their shots a lot, which make it unpredictable to the keepers.

After seing him for several seasons here at PT league, one wonder how is this even possible, but he does have the talent for PKs and 1 touch finishing (too bad he sucks in almost everything else
) But the way he took the PK's were completely awkward: the slow sprint, the same movement, even the way he shoots seems like he's not tottally on control of his technique, but somehow the keepers never get near it.
There's some very good penalty takers in the Prem... Milivojevic, Kane, Jiminez, Milner, Jorginho...you'd always back them to score from the spot.
I've always loved Hazard's technique: look at the keeper, just go the other way at the last moment.
He's missed a few in the past, but is currently on a streak of 13 scored in a row.

Thanks. I knew Noble was up there for one of the best in Europe.
Of course he is. Surprised it's not 34 for 27.
He also missed one in injury time against West Ham way back when he first breaking into the team. Scored the rebound though.
I guess no sources count penalty shoot-outs.
Raul Jimenez, 24 in, 1 out
I know I'm cheating here a bit but every time Hazard stepped up the PL the result was a goal, he only had two saved which were stuck in on the rebound (one from Speroni the over from Caballero).
The only times I remember him being properly denied was in the CL.

Mainz is currently on a run of 25 consecutive pens scored in the league, with several different takers however. Our current first choice is Daniel Brosinski who has scored every one of his penalties for us (6 in the league, 7 total), his career record is 9-1.
I knew I'd jinx him
Håland is 12 for 12.
Fabinho must be up there in terms of active players.
Alfreð Finnbogason (Augsburg/Iceland) is 15/17. Hasn't missed in 7 years.
Is there really 2 pages worth?
I thought this was a classic 1 page wonder.
