Croatian footballer Ivan Perišić missed a crucial penalty opportunity during PSV Eindhoven's match against RB Leipzig in the Champions League group stage last week. The incident occurred after a VAR review led to a penalty kick for PSV, but Perišić's attempt was saved by Leipzig's goalkeeper. PSV lost the match 1:0. Following two consecutive losses, including a defeat to ADO Den Haag, coach Peter Bosz decided to rest Perišić, consulting with him directly. Willy van de Kerkhof, a former PSV legend, criticized Perišić for attempting a 'panenka' (a chip shot over the goalkeeper), calling it unwise and suggesting he simply score the goal rather than trying to appear heroic. This criticism has added pressure on Perišić ahead of PSV's upcoming match against Porto.
