DO YOU KNOW THE PLAYER THAT LOST THE LAST MINUTE PENALTY THAT CAUSED DEPORTIVO LA CORONA THE 1993/1994 SEASON SPANISH PRIMERA LIGA TITLE?

Serbian Miroslav Đjukić made an odd history for Spanish Primera Liga high flying side Deportivo La Coruña in the 1993/1994 season. 

On May 14, 1994, in the league's last round, at home at the Estadio Riazor against Valencia CF, Đjukić missed a penalty kick in the game's last minute with a easy save from Jose Gonzalez (eventual 0–0 draw), as habitual taker Donato had already been replaced and second option Bebeto refused the responsibility. 

As a result, FC Barcelona were crowned champions instead, and the elegant defender left Deportivo La Coruña at the end of 1996/1997 season at the age of 31, as his contract was not renewed.
