Juan Guarnizo takes the worst penalty in Kings League history at the Metropolitano: "My grandmother could take it better"

The Mexican streamer Juan Guarnizo became the protagonist of the day when he missed a penalty in an unusual way during the semifinal of the Kings League, Gerard Piqué's soccer league.

Juan Guarnizo's team, 'Aniquiladores FC', was ahead with a 1-0 score against Adri Contreras' 'El Barrio', when they decided to use the president's penalty card to try to increase the advantage. However, the play did not go as expected.

Guarnizo prepared to take the penalty with his right foot, but his shot lacked power and missed the target completely. The unfortunate ruling left everyone speechless and Guarnizo wanting to put his head under the ground.

The consequence was a defeat in the Shootout penalty shootout, where 'El Barrio' managed to turn the general score around and win with a 1-2 win. In this way, 'El Barrio' became the first finalist of the Kings League, while 'Aniquiladores FC' was left out of the competition.

Juan Guarnizo's missed penalty in the Kings League generated a flurry of comments on Twitter, with users expressing their astonishment and criticism of the ill-fated shot.

Some ironically commented on his execution, saying: "Great detail by Juan Guarnizo with Atlético de Madrid taking the penalty as if it were a player from the club itself." Others highlighted the lack of technique, stating: "I have not seen a more orthopedic penalty taken than Juan Guarnizo's".

Disbelief was also present in the comments: "Juan Guarnizo's penalty is the most unfortunate thing I've seen in a while." Another user expressed his surprise by saying: "I think that even if you want to, you cannot take a penalty like Juan Guarnizo did." Humorous comparisons were even used to express the mistake of the shot: "Juan Guarnizo's penalty could be shot better by my grandmother."

Guarnizo's penalty became the center of attention and the subject of debate on social networks, revealing the mistake that will remain in the memory of many fans.
