Spain's shocking recent record from the penalty spot has given them even more reason to practise penalties ahead of the knockout rounds, and that includes goalkeeper David de Gea.
The Manchester United keeper missed from the spot in the Europa League final against Villarreal. He and fellow keepers, first choice Unai Simon and Brighton’s Robert Sanchez have both taken kicks in the mock shoot-outs organised by coach Luis Enrique ahead of the last-16 meeting with Croatia.
That Europa League final in Gdansk saw 21 players score before De Gea’s miss but Spain’s recent form from 12 yards is appalling in contrast.
