00:00 The most influential shot in the history of the UEFA Euro.
00:08 Let's talk about a penalty shot by Antonin Panenka, author of the Panenkazo.
00:18 Possibly the best known penalty kick in the entire world.
00:21 Stage?
00:22 The final of Euro 1976, in which Czechoslovakia faced Germany.
00:28 The game had ended 2-2 and everything would be decided in the penalty shootout.
00:32 There, in the most tense moments of the match, Panenka confidently appeared to silence the
00:38 entire world.
00:40 The Czechoslovaks needed just one goal to leave the coveted European trophy.
00:44 The only thing that had to be done was to take the penalty without complications.
00:49 Although, the genius Panenka had something else in mind.
00:55 At this time, the legendary player created a real work of art, replacing strength with
01:01 mischief.
01:02 He gently lifted the ball toward the center, deceiving the goalkeeper.
01:08 And so, not only did Czechoslovakia lift its first Euro, but also his iconic play was born.
01:16 From that moment on, the Panenkazo became not only an emblematic shot, but also a display
01:22 of bravery on the field that many players have wanted to imitate, with several successful
01:28 results and some not so much.
01:30 And now, let's see what the Czech Republic has to offer.
