Real Madrid has been very inconsistent when it comes to penalty-taking since Cristiano Ronaldo left. The Portuguese barely missed from the 12 yards when he was at the Spanish capital with Real Madrid but those who replaced him have been scoring and missing.
Vinicius Jnr, Rodrygo Goes, and Jude Bellingham have been the penalty takers recently until Kylian Mbappe joined from PSG last summer.
Ancelotti’s trusted lieutenants for penalty kicks have been very inconsistent and he has finally confirmed that French forward Mbappe is the first penalty-taker with English playmaker the deputy.
This decision means Brazilian duo Vini Jnr and Rodrygo have been pushed backwards in the line of the penalty-taking duties for Los Blancos.
Real Madrid lost 2-1 to Valencia at home on Saturday, helping Barcelona, who drew at home to Real Betis to extend their lead in the La Liga race.
Los Blancos will visit Arsenal in London on Tuesday night for the first leg of the quarter-finals of the UCL.
