With the penalty kick scored on the last day of the Turkish championship Ciro Immobile had improved his record in terms of number of penalties scored consecutively. With Lazio the striker from Torre Annunziata had stopped at 13, between October 2017 and December 2019. Then, while still in the Biancoceleste, he had started a new long series of penalties converted into goals, which continued even after his move to Besiktas.
The former Juventus and Turin player, between his last period in Rome and the first weeks in Turkey, had managed to score 14 penalties in a row, thus surpassing his previous record. But now it stops, the record will not be improved yet. On the evening of the Europa League, in the match between Besiktas and Eintracht Frankfurt, Immobile missed a penalty kick two years and a day after the last time.
