Good news for Kylian Mbappé. The French striker should become the new Real Madrid's official penalties shooter, reports the Madrilene daily Marca. The leadership posted by the tricolor international last season, despite performances deemed below expectations, would have convinced the coach Xabi Alonso to entrust him with this crucial role. Author of 44 goals in the previous exercise, Mbappé won the Pichichi and the Golden Soulier, distinctions that reinforce his status as a leader in the Madrid attack, ahead of Vinicius.
Note that the former PSG player is not impeccable in this exercise. He missed 13 of the 63 penalties attempted during his career, with some significant failures, like his failure against Liverpool in Anfield, or his decision not to draw a penalty that he himself had obtained during the eighth finals return from the Champions League, against the Rival Atlético de Madrid. Vinicius, who had taken care of the execution, had sent his strike in the stands. Last season, the success rate of Bayer Leverkusen of Xabi Alonso was not famous either: the German club missed three of the six penalties obtained in Bundesliga.
