Antonín Panenka's legendary chipped penalty back in focus
Original: antonin panenka
Antonín Panenka is trending in Germany after a question circulated about who was in goal when he converted his famous chipped penalty in a European Championship final. Panenka scored the decisive spot-kick for Czechoslovakia in the Euro 1976 final against West Germany, with goalkeeper Sepp Maier beaten by the gently lofted shot. The strike was so distinctive that the technique now bears his name.
Why now: A quiz-style question about the 1976 final has prompted fans to revisit the iconic penalty and its origin.
