Scoring a penalty kick from 11 meters - almost the easiest way to score a goal. However, by no means does everyone succeed in perfectly executing this task on a world-class level. A word is said by the tension of the match, the high skill level of opponents' goalkeepers, or simply fatigue. We present a quintet of the five best players who score penalties from 11 meters. Zlatan Ibrahimović, at the age of 39, continues his impressive career and has scored a good portion of goals by defeating opponents' goalkeepers from close range. Statistics - 97 attempts, 83 successful shots. Francesco Totti, the legendary Italian who spent his entire career in the "Roma" team, became a world champion in 2006 (105 attempts, 85 goals). Gaizka Mendieta, a midfielder who became famous at the beginning of this age, was considered one of the best players in his position across Europe. He made a name for himself at "Valencia" club, later playing for "Lazio" and "Barcelona" teams (37 attempts, 34 goals). Cristiano Ronaldo, the leader of Turin's "Juventus," has earned the nickname Penaldo for his frequent successfully converted penalty kicks, with 154 attempts and 129 goals. Matt Le Tissier, perhaps the least known player on this list. An attacking midfielder who played eight matches for the English national team is a legend of the "Southampton" team. A significant part of his achievement is his "magic" foot - he scored 47 out of 48 penalties successfully.
