Sergio Ramos missed his second spot kick of the night against Switzerland. He missed his second penalty of the night against Swtizerland. He missed the first one in then 57th minute and then his second in the 80th minute. He tried as Panenka penalty, but it was very poor and Sommer saved it.

Football can be really unpredictable sometimes. So much so that a player who scores 25 straight penalties can then miss two on the same night.

That happened to Sergio Ramos in Switzerland. Spain were losing 1-0 when the Real Madrid central defender saw a penalty saved by Sommer in the second half. But it would not be the only one.

23 minutes later, in the 80th minute, Morata went down in the box, a foul which also saw Elvedi sent off for a second yellow. Ramos once again wanted to take responsibility.

But it was not Ramos' night. The central defender hit a terrible second penalty. Some think it was a poor effort at a Panenka while others said it was simply a poor finish. In any case, Sommer saved it and Switzerland were still 1-0 up.
