Who has missed the most penalties in La Liga history?

2. Quini – Sporting Gijon, Barcelona (13)

Enrique Castro Gonzalez, Quini, was one of Spain’s greatest ever strikers. The forward scored 302 goals in 567 games, the majority of which came for Sporting Gijon and Barcelona. He was so enigmatic, in fact, that he was once kidnapped in 1981 – a stunning moment that cost Barcelona the league that year. Read all about that quite inredible tale right here! To the point, though, he wasn’t as great from the spot as he was otherwise in the box – he missed 30% of the penalties he took, missing 13 out of the 43 he attempted for his sides.

1. Hugo Sanchez – Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid (15)

Widely regarded as Mexico’s greatest ever player, Hugo Sanchez is an absolute legend of the game who through an incredible career played over a hundred times for Atletico Madrid and over ttwo hundred times for Real Madrid. As deadly a finisher as there ever has been, the ultimate fox-in-the-box did, though, miss 15 of the penalties he attempted – which is not that much considering just how many he took... 71! At a miss rate of just 21% he is only behind the all-time greats that are Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi when it comes to reliabilty from the spot!
