Five footballers who have never missed a penalty kick

Penalty kicks are defining moments in games that can cause a moment of joy or sadness depending on the outcome.

However, it also depends on the toughness of players who take bold steps to convert from the spot while others also find it difficult to take penalty kicks due to their low self-esteem.

Most players have their trademark in football and that is to score from the spot in all games they have featured.
