Manchester City lost on penalties to Olympiakos after a 2-2 draw last night, ending their participation in the International Champions Cup. City lost the shootout 5-4 after defender Micah Richards missed his penalty in sudden death. No big deal right? It's pre-season after all, but this penalty is a penalty for the ages. Richards attacks the ball like it is some sort of explosive device and his left leg here is really something right after the moment of impact.
This is suppose to be his "standing" leg remember.
Here's the official Sky Sports video:
