Panenka himself weighs in on Real Madrid star Brahim Diaz’s penalty miss for Morocco: ‘It took me two years’

The creator of the Panenka style explained why Real Madrid's midfielder Brahim Diaz missed the infamous penalty for Morocco in the AFCON final

Real Madrid’s attacking midfielder Brahim Díaz had a brilliant Africa Cup of Nations with Morocco, all the way until the penalty that changed the outcome of the final defeat to Senegal. A miss in the last minute of regulation where he tried to imitate Antonín Panenka sent the match to extra time.

Díaz was the subject of criticism mainly because of how he chose to take the penalty.
