According to a recent interview, Guimarães revealed that the experience still hurts him. "It's a very unpleasant feeling, no doubt. Missing a penalty is part of football, but you're never prepared for it to happen," he said. Guimarães, who plays for Arsenal, added that he hopes to learn from his mistakes and continue his daily struggle to achieve his dreams.
The match, which Brazil lost 2-1, saw Guimarães fall victim to a penalty miss that has left a lasting impact on him. He explained that the team's coach, Carlo Ancelotti, made the decision to have him take the penalty after a foul was committed on Matheus Cunha inside the penalty area. Guimarães also clarified that some of his teammates tried to take the ball from him, which led to the mistake.
Despite the pain of the experience, Guimarães has expressed his willingness to take on another penalty if given the chance. "If I were given another penalty, I wouldn't hesitate. I would accept it a thousand times if it were necessary, because representing this jersey means everything to me," he said.
