5. Cristiano Ronaldo- 2006







In 2006, Cristiano Ronaldo was just starting to get noticed in the World of football. However, he will not want to be reminded about this particular day he missed two great chances against Sheffield United. The first opportunity must have been tricky even though he should score, but the second one was criminal to miss. Ryan Giggs delivered a perfect pass for CR7 between the goalkeeper and defense. The Portuguese had an open goal to aim but he blasted it over the bar. The commentator calls it miss of the season.
4. Freddie Ljungberg- 2005






In 2005, Freddie Ljungberg missed an open chance against Bolton Wanderers. The Swedish master had spent the entire season helping Thierry Henry score 30 Premier League goals. He was probably surprised that the Frenchman was not ahead of him when the goal opened perfectly for him to tap in. He blasted it over the bar from 2 yards out with the goalkeeper already beaten by the pass. All his teammates were holding their heads wondering how that did not end in the net.
3. Fernando Torres- 2011






On September 18th, 2011, Chelsea lost 3-1 to Manchester United at Old Trafford. However, what made headlines all week was a terrible miss by striker Fernando Torres.

The Spaniard received a perfect defense-splitting pass, he managed to beat the offside trap, rounded David De Gea but when the goal opened for him, he missed the target from 6 yards. He collapsed in shame as Red Devil fans breathed a sigh of relief. It will always remain one of the worst misses of all time in Premier League.
2. Yakubu Ayegbeni- 2010






In 2010 World Cup, Nigerian striker Yakubu Ayegbeni made history by failing to score from 2 yards out when he had an open goal to aim. It was a crucial group stage clash against South Korea. Some pundits still call it ‘The Miss of the Century’ and others say it was simply a criminal offense. Super Eagle fans will certainly never forgive or even forget that miss.
1. Fahad Khalfan- 2010






In 2010 ASIAN Games, Qatar winger Fahad Khalfan recorded the worst miss in football history. The attacker had beaten the goalkeeper; he dribbled towards the empty net only to hit the post from 2 yards out. If black magic had any impact in football, Uzbekistan was probably using the highest quality. The miss did not matter at the end because his country won the game 1-0.
