Footage of Marc Guehi's 'zero step' penalty technique is going viral ahead of Euro 2024 final against Spain

England defender Marc Guehi could well use his nonchalant 'zero step' penalty technique if the Euro 2024 final goes to a shoot-out, although it does require nerves of steel.

Since making his major tournament debut for the Three Lions in their group stage opener against Serbia, Guehi has played a crucial role for Gareth Southgate's side.

After featuring against Denmark, Slovenia and Slovakia, he missed the quarter-final clash against Switzerland through suspension but returned for England's dramatic 2-1 victory over the Netherlands.

Now, the Crystal Palace centre-back is expected to start against Spain in a back-three alongside Kyle Walker and John Stones.

As mentioned earlier, Guehi missed England's quarter-final clash against Switzerland as Gareth Southgate's side book their place in the semi-final.

Cole Palmer, Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, Ivan Toney and Trent Alexander-Arnold converted from 12 yards as they came out 5-3 winners.

Whether Guehi would have stepped up is unclear but if England take Sunday's game to a shoot-out, then fans may see his unusual 'zero step' penalty technique.

Back in 2019, the centre-back surprised many when he took a spot-kick in Chelsea's UEFA Youth League shoot-out win over Dinamo Zagreb.

There was huge pressure on Guehi, who was only 18 at the time, as a semi-final clash against Barcelona loomed.

Yet, instead of going for a safe spot-kick, the defender decided to do this.

The commentator couldn't help but ask, "Have you seen anything like this at any level?" before Chelsea advanced to the semi-final stages.

Last month, when he was asked if time had been spent on penalties, Guehi said: “Yes, we’ve been doing a lot of work. The work’s been going really well across the team on penalties. It’s important to make sure we’re ready.”

Ezri Konsa, who featured in the absence of Guehi against Switzerland, added: “It [practising penalties] is something we've been doing anyway, it was regardless of if we went through or not.

“It's something that we like to practise anyway. We've been practising them after training, a few players go off and practise penalties."
