Real Madrid penalty taker update despite Kylian Mbappe’s latest success

Carlo Ancelotti plans to reassess Real Madrid's penalty takers for 2025 following ongoing debates about spot-kick duties.

Real Madrid secured a 4-1 win over Las Palmas, with Kylian Mbappé scoring twice, including a penalty. This season, Los Blancos have converted seven of nine penalties.

Mbappé has taken most of them, scoring four out of five, while Vinícius Junior has maintained a perfect record, scoring two from two. Jude Bellingham has scored one from two attempts.

Despite Mbappé's strong form, Ancelotti reaffirmed Vinícius as the team's top penalty taker in his post-match interview.

Vinícius boasts an impeccable record, with seven penalties scored from seven since 2023, solidifying his status as the first-choice penalty taker when available.
