If the penalty taker gets it right, no goalkeeper is truly good at saving penalties. A goalkeeper is often assumed or judged to be a strong penalty keeper simply because the taker got it wrong. While some goalkeepers are good at reading where the taker intends to place the ball, but it ultimately boils down to the taker’s execution, whether he gets it right or wrong.
As Pelé once said "only a badly taken penalty gets saved".

If the execution is right no keeper will save a pk, that's is why over 90% of pks is scored.

Translators needed please.

As you no get sense, make all of us crase together.

The "1 goal in 23 matches for Senegal" player has more AFCON goals than Osimhen.

The "60 chances missed before scoring one goal" player is the first to score a brace in AFCON2025.

Who go helps us translate please oo..

As na only you get twitter for your phone.

There are too many IFs in your analogy making it too overly simplistic. Some goal keepers are actually good at penalties while some are not. It's a skill/psychological issue. Petr Czech, Tim Krul, Dona, Sxchesny, Emi Martinez, Diego Alves, Kepa, are better penalty savers than Ter Stegen, Lloris, Raya, Ederson, Degea etc. The stats are there to back this up.

You also talked about execution and all that. The goal post is so big that some would wonder why players miss 1vs1 and penalties. If all players could execute(I.e score every chance including penalties), considering how large the goal post is, we'll be having cricket scorelines but it's not happening.

Check Diego Alves compilations on YouTube and see some of the penalties he removed even from angle 90°. If Martinez or Diego Alves was the GK for Palace or Arsenal yesterday, they would've saved 2 or 3 or force the takers to miss the target completely and the PK won't drag that long. Unsurprisingly, it's the team with the PK specialist(Kepa) who went through.

Same Kepa was also key(gave instructions to Lunin) when Madrid knocked out City in UCL via penalties.

Below was a penalty taken by Messi but Szney saved it. The still image doesn't do justice to the save and yeah, Messi isn't great at penalties but this was a well taken one that GKs like Llrios, Degea, Raya wouldn't get close to.

Shameless Timbros hyping his Jakujaku Jackson because of 2 goals against a 138th ranked team. Later when Senegalese fans start cursing the wasteful striker and his fans, he will start posting his usual one-liner -IGNORED

Sportsweb:
You don de drag airmark now, when he reply you or drag you, you go begin from IGNORANCE.

Anyways Jackson is cooking and is 100% better than Delap and JP.

Emaprince:
Wait na Jackson performance in afcon una dey rate like this?

He should use it to displace Kane from Bayern starting 11.

airmark:
Jakujaku Jackson was chased away for both and never will he return to bench JP, who is better than him in front of goal.

We made the best decision by replacing Jackson at the CWC. With Timbros and his Jakujaku Jackson, we wouldn't have become the World champions.

airmark:
Timbros is shameless.

Roland17:
No way am I taking any of those comments seriously.

timbros:
So the one liner dey pain you like this

You never see anything.

Feel free to quote or mention me. The one liner will always always always be your response

timbros:
Check how he was rated here just BEFORE the match.

Maybe then you will understand the hype AFTER the match.

Osimhen must have been cursed or maybe he used AFCON as his jazz for his career because I no understand.

Man Utd during Ferguson era really had alot of backings from the referees to the extent Drogba got a yellow card for getting seriously kicked in the chest.pic.twitter.com/6CrGk2q2HY

Pep guardiola is ridiculous. This one will be hard to break with Maresca.

MorataFC:
This should be across all competitions, because under Conte we already had a 13 match winning run in the Premier League.

popizaino:
It would have been included if we had13 match winning streak.

MorataFC:
I remember vividly that we had a 13 matches winning streak in the EPL and were on course for a 14 win before Tottenham defeated us 2–0, bringing the run to an end.

MorataFC:
The penalty kick is structurally engineered to favour the taker, not the goalkeeper.
You rarely see fans, coaches, or teammates blame a goalkeeper for conceding a pks goals but instead, criticism is almost always directed at the player who misses. This alone reflects the high probability of a penalty resulting in a goal.
Good penalty goalkeepers do exist, but their success is often dependent on poor execution by the taker. A perfectly struck penalty,placed into the side netting, with high velocity and optimal height, is unsaveable, regardless of the goalkeeper’s reputation.
You just help me reinforce my point when you mentioned Szczysny saving Messi’s penalty and then you concluded that “Messi isn’t good at penalties.” If you agree that a player is poor at penalties, how is that different from my assertion that a saved penalty is a result a poorly taken pk?
So my summation still stands and Pele quotes still valid:
"Only a badly taken pk gets saved".

drisham:
Where's conte 13 match win streak in the pl?

He no also see Jackson wey he go use do content again
