Spain skipper Sergio Ramos has missed his first penalty for the national side as Luis Enrique’s side trail Switzerland 1-0 in Basel.
La Roja fell behind to Remo Freuler’s first half strike for the home side as Vladimir Petkovic’s side look to reignite the UEFA Nations League campaign.
However, the visitors were handed a perfect to drag themselves into the game on 56 minutes after Ricardo Rodriguez handled his header inside the box.
Ramos spot kick record for both Real Madrid and Spain has been outstanding in recent seasons, with 22 successful penalties since May 2018.
However, Yann Sommer produced a brilliant stop to keep out the 34-year old effort and preserve’s Switzerland’s single goal lead.
