I don't want to take anything away from Schmeichel- even shitty penalties often score.
How does Sevilla make the last 16 of the Champions League with a roster that has a guy like Nzonzi taking such an important penalty? He looked like he'd be the third or fourth choice once a shootout gets to sudden death. He eyeball fucked the side he was taking every time he glanced up, not in a mind-game sort of way but more nervy. He then did nothing to mask his choice once his foot was planted. He really gave Schmeichel absolutely everything he needed to pick (originally typed "guess," but that doesn't credit Schmeichel's read) the correct side. To hit it weakly in a comfortable range was just icing on the cake.
