There are many good penalty shooters in international football. Who is the best?
An international statistics and analytics company has done research to find out.
Naturally there is a superstar on top of the list, Swedish international Zlatan Ibrahimovic now playing for LA Galaxy has the best statistics of all players the last ten years, better than Christiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Ibrahimovic scored 57 goals on 61 penalties, an avarage of 83%. Even though almost all his shots are in the same place of the goal. The goal keeper actually knows this and dives to the correct part of the goal in 67% of the cases – but Ibra still scores. The charachter of a king, “I know that you know – I will shoot there anyway”.
