The Panna (or nutmeg) is without doubt the best way to humiliate your opponent and is the FIFA Street skill move most synonymous with street football.

This FIFA Street Panna and Air Beats Tutorial video not only teaches us the mechanics of the panna but also how to defend them.  Don’t worry if the defender over protects himself from the panna though.  If that happens it’s time to bring out the Air Beats!

Panna

The Panna (or nutmeg) slots the ball through the defenders legs as you skip round him to collect it usually leaving him on his arse looking really embarrassed.

The panna can be done using Street Ball Control by pointing the left stick in the direction of the defenders legs and holding the right trigger to burst forward. Then release the left trigger to continue to goal.

Defending the Panna

If you keep your legs open be prepared to get screwed. Hold the left trigger to close your legs and defend against the panna. Remember though, do this to much and you’re leaving yourself open to an Air Beat!

Air Beat

To perform an Air Beat first tap the right bumper to start juggling the ball. Then move the left stick in the direction you want to go. If you move the right stick in the direction the defender you should knock the ball over their head and be on your way.
