12 Times Andrea Pirlo Proved He Was Human Perfection
10. When He Scored That Panenka Against England
https://vimeo.com/44648286 The greatest penalty since penalties began. Despite Pirlo mercilessly dismantling everything about our tiresome national team during the 2012 European Championships (not to mention completing more passes than the entire England team put together), the stubborn Three Lions blundered their way to an inexplicable penalty shoot-out at which point Andrea Pirlo decided to be all Andrea Pirlo about it. According to the man himself, he only opted to try the Panenka penalty just as he was about to strike the ball because he noticed Joe Hart twitch a bit on the line. The subsequent execution of the kick was a masterclass from The Professor and simply serves to highlight how Goddamn sexy and nonchalant he can be. He basically out-Panenkad Panenka. And this was pre-beard. Jesus.
