VIDEO: Statuesque Neymar tries to unnerve goalkeeper, misses penalty

Reuters

Barcelona star Neymar will want this penalty effort back.

The Brazilian stood as still as a statue in the buildup to the eventual shot, in an attempt to unnerve Valencia goalkeeper Matthew Ryan. When the referee finally blew his whistle, Neymar came back to life and took his shot, but the ball hit the post and was then cleared away.

Neymar won't be too miffed, though, as Barcelona already held a 3-0 lead over Los Che in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal.
