Füllkrug ‘relieved’ after missing penalty against Pisa: “Definitely had better days”

Niclas Füllkrug published a message for the AC Milan fans on Instagram this morning, after missing a penalty in the Rossoneri’s 2-1 win against Pisa.

It was in the 56th minute that Füllkrug stepped up to take the penalty for Milan. The scoreline was 0-1 then, meaning a goal would have doubled the lead, but the German hit the outside of the post. Shortly thereafter, Pisa equalised and made life very difficult for the Rossoneri.

Luckily, Luka Modric took matters into his own hands, finding the back of the net after a nice one-two with Samuele Ricci. For Füllkrug, this was obviously a huge relief as the penalty miss could have proved incredibly costly.

Füllkrug’s Instagram message

On his Instagram, the striker published a message to the Milan fans, saying that he has definitely had better days. At the very least he cares, and we can only hope that he will do better when given the chance next time.

“Definitely had better days and very relieved the penalty didn’t turn out decisive – grazie team!🙏🏼

“Games like this can still make the difference in the end and that’s all we need now!

“Thank you all for supporting us on this Friday night – have a nice weekend, Rossoneri! ❤️🖤,” he wrote.
