The worst penalty of Lewandowski's career.

Robert Lewandowski disappointed by missing a penalty in Barcelona's 3-1 victory over Atletico Madrid in the early match of La Liga's 19th round on the morning of December 3rd.

In the 30th minute at Camp Nou, midfielder Dani Olmo was fouled by Pablo Barrios inside the penalty area, prompting referee De Burgos Bengoetxea to immediately point to the penalty spot. However, Lewandowski unfortunately let the opportunity slip away as his shot went over the crossbar.

The shot that went skyward caused the Polish striker to be mocked on social media. One account commented: "This is the worst shot of Lewandowski's career." Another fan sarcastically remarked: "Did he shoot the ball straight up to the moon?"

This was the third time Lewandowski had been awarded a penalty this season. He previously missed against Sevilla at the Sanchez-Pizjuan stadium. A few weeks later, he successfully converted his penalty against Celta Vigo, even scoring a hat-trick. However, when presented with a crucial opportunity against Atletico, the Polish striker once again missed.

According to statistics, this is the first time in La Liga history that a Barcelona player has missed two penalties in the same season.

In contrast to his older teammates' inconsistent form, Lamine Yamal has maintained a perfect penalty record, successfully converting both of his penalties this season against Vallecano and Olympiacos. This has led many fans to question whether the 18-year-old striker should be given more responsibility for taking penalties in the future.

The 3-1 victory helped Barcelona consolidate their position at the top of La Liga, creating a 4-point gap with Real Madrid, although they have played one more game.
