I think he was supposed to take the 5th kick since experts say first, thired and fifth are the most important kicks. Nevertheless, overall Porto did great job considering Arsenal is currently a top European team and they managed to have only 4 shots on target vs Porto. Pepe is a literally a beast at 41. Swedish commentators praised Porto a lot.
Regarding the Penalties, I think it's not only SC who decides. Players needs to be prepared mentally as well and I think the coach askes the players if they are mentally ready to take the shot. Who knows, maybe Mehdi was asked but declined. But when it comes to Wendell, that was stupid to let him take PK since earlier in the game, at least in the overtime, he was limping, had so much pain so coach should definitely not let him to take penalty even if Wendel himself insisted.
