An exercise that posed so many problems at Real Madrid, penalties are however an important source of goal for any club, which is more in Madrid, which causes the most in the liga. The debate around the shooter is still topical, and that is why AS.com has launched an investigation asking: “Who should be the penalty shooter of Real Madrid? And the result of the survey is that Mbappé prevails from far away: it collected 65% of the 13,000 accumulated votes. And second on the list is… Valverde. Despite his lack of experience, voters see him as a potential penalty shooter and granted 19% of the vote to him. In third position is Bellingham, with 12%, and in fourth and last position is Vinicius, with only 4%.
An opinion that agrees with that of Carlo Ancelotti, who would also lean for French as a number 1 shooter. Which does not mean that he is infallible; He missed two of them this season, against Liverpool and in San Mamés against Athletic. Named a penalty shooter for the end of the season is a decision that seems harmless, but which could tip everything at the crucial moment for a Real Madrid launched in the title race and who must make a miracle in the Champions League.
