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

Carlo Ancelotti is ready to shake up his Real Madrid penalty takers in 2025.

Los Blancos returned to top spot in La Liga with a 4-1 home win over Las Palmas, with Kylian Mbappe scoring twice, including one from the penalty spot.

The question of who takes Real Madrid's penalties has been a big debate in the Spanish capital this season, with seven goals scored from nine attempts.

Mbappe has taken the majority of those penalties, converting four from five, while Vinicius Junior has scored two from two.

Jude Bellingham has a 50% success rate, with the England international scoring one of two.

With Vinicius not playing this weekend, Ancelotti discussed the situation in his post-match interview, with the Brazilian still his No. 1 choice despite Mbappe's impressive recent form.

Vinicius has a perfect penalty record in Madrid, with seven goals from seven, dating back to his first attempt from 12 yards in 2023.
