Football fans have expressed their disappointment after seeing Sergio Aguero’s failed Panenka attempt in Saturday’s 2-1 Premier League defeat to Chelsea.
After Pep Guardiola’s men had taken the lead through Raheem Sterling in the 44th minute, the Citizens were awarded a penalty just before half-time after referee Anthony Taylor spotted a foul on Gabriel Jesus.
Aguero, in his last season at City, stepped up to the spot but opted for a poor Panenka attempt that was easily saved by Edouard Mendy.
That proved costly as Thomas Tuchel’s men cancelled their deficit before scoring the winner in the closing stages of the game.
The Argentine superstar has not been spared by angry football fans on Twitter.
Media after Aguero’s failed Paneka penalty attempt: “Why would he try to do that in such a game?”

But u can ably say that Riyadh Mahrez is better than Ferran Torres; the form of Phil Foden is slightly above that of Raheem Sterling; and De Bryne can be better than a less interested Aguero (who knows that he is leaving the club)
