#1 Germany vs Italy: Euro 2016
Trending
Having been brought on in the final seconds of extra-time specifically to take part in the penalty shoot-out against Germany in the quarter-finals of the Euro 2016, Simone Zaza did something that cemented his place on this list forever! The Juventus forward walked on just before the referee blew for full-time and proceeded to give instructions to his goal-keepers.
Then soon after that after both Toni Kroos and Lorenzo Insigne finished their spot kicks with ease, Zaza walked towards the spot as Manuel Neuer paced up and down the goal. The Italian picked up the ball and placed it, before looking towards the referee for confirmation and then adjusted his run-up.
The referee blew his whistle and the Juventus attacker blazed his effort over the crossbar, but only after preceding it with a staggered run-up, that has since made him a viral sensation. The fact that it was his first and only touch of the match, made everything that much worse.
However, the 25-year-old forward has insisted that he's always used that unorthodox approach to his penalties and even pointed out that, he managed to send Manuel Neuer the wrong way, despite missing the shot. Since then, the striker has been through hell, with his brief loan spell at West Ham causing him to be subject to a further figure of ridicule, before eventually moving to Valencia on loan.
