Rayan Cherki attempted a Panenka penalty during shootout against Arsenal, he failed miserably

Rayan Cherki produced a stunningly bad Panenka in Lyon's penalty shootout defeat to Arsenal on Thursday.

Mikel Arteta's team claimed an extra point after winning the shootout 2-1. But it was largely down to Lyon's awful penalties, including Cherki's abysmal Panenka.

The 19-year-old walked up and tried to dink the ball into the back of the net. However, 20-year-old Karl Hein had other ideas and didn't move until the player struck the ball.

His decision paid off as he simply caught the ball, making a fool of the Lyon attacker.

Needless to say, Cherki's failed Panenka sent social media wild.

One Twitter user wrote: "Cherki with a laughably bad Panenka attempt at the end of the shootout for Lyon."

A second tweeted: "Hein saves a horrid Panenka from Cherki and Arsenal win the bonus point!"

A third added: "Even if the keeper dived there, the hang time is enough to even get back up."

A fourth commented: "The worst penalty attempt I've ever seen by Cherki."

Another said: "Bro thought he was Hakimi."

Speaking after his side's penalty shootout victory, Hein said: "Yeah, absolutely. We don't get penalty shootouts often so I think it's a really, really good idea from the tournament to implement that penalty shootout.

"So yeah, I think it was a great experience. A bit of a different scenario with the penalty shootout. We managed to win so everything is good."

When it comes off, it looks incredible. But, when it doesn't, it looks very, very bad.
