Karim Benzema had a golden chance to get all three points for Real Madrid against Osasuna on Sunday after Real Madrid were awarded a penalty late in the second-half but the France international missed the penalty.
As per Mundo Deportivo, that miss has given the Frenchman an unwanted record. It is the first time in La Liga’s 93-year history that a player has missed three penalties against the same goalkeeper. After having his penalties saved twice in Real Madrid’s 3-1 win over Osasuna in April, Sergio Herrera again managed to psyche Benzema out.
The penalty against Osasuna is the fifth penalty out of Real Madrid’s last seven attempted in domestic competition that has not been scored. Sunday night’s miss was the first of those five to cost Los Blancos points.
