Penalty missed: Hansi Flick reacts as Yamal fails from the spot

Barcelona missed clear chance to take the lead against Girona after Lamine Yamal failed to convert from the penalty spot.

Barcelona visited Girona in the Catalan derby during matchday 24 of La Liga, with first half ending 0-0.

Just before the break, the visitors were awarded penalty but Yamal struck the ball against the left post wasting golden opportunity to open the scoring.

Cameras quickly showed the reaction of Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick who appeared visibly frustrated on the touchline after the miss.

Rare miss for the young star

The missed penalty marked rare moment for Yamal who had scored in three straight league matches before this game finding the net against Real Oviedo, Elche and Real Mallorca.

As a result, the 17 year-old failed to score in four consecutive La Liga matches for first time in his senior career.

Despite his young age, Yamal has already become a key figure in Barcelona’s attack making the miss notable moment in the match.

Penalty problems continue for Barcelona

Yamal’s miss also highlighted wider issue for Barcelona this season.
