[QUOTE="Philby, post: 7422893, member: 1802"] He hadn't taken one for City in normal/extra time, but has has taken at least one in a shoot-out. In the 2019 shoot-out with Chelsea he scored one and put it right down the centre against...yep, Kepa. And Kepa was seen giving Lunin advice in the build-up to the shoot-out last night. Lunin took a chance but it was an educated guess and it paid off, fair play. A few psychological things from this... 1. Modric whacked his ball into the crowd in frustration. City fans took an age to return the ball, which maybe gave Bernardo a bit too much time to think about it. Had he always planned on going down the centre? Who know. 2. Maybe it's a smart move from a keeper to stay in the middle for the first pen. Even if it doesn't work out, it plants a seed in the mind of the remaining takers that going down the middle is even higher risk than usual. 'We prepared it with the goalkeeping coach and there were three players with whom we had doubts about whether to stay in the middle or not,' Lunin told Marca afterwards. "I needed to take a risk with one of the kicks, we picked one (to stay in the middle) and thank goodness it worked out in our favour" [/QUOTE]
