For the third time in eight matches, a Madrid player went to the penalty spot and failed. A shortage in front of the goalkeeper which cost Bilbao the defeat in La Liga at the beginning of December, and against Liverpool in the Champions League. Faced with this emerging problem, Carlo Ancelotti decided to take action. At a press conference after Jude Bellingham’s failure against Valencia, the Italian technician declared: “I’m annoyed, we missed three penalties. I think it is now my responsibility to choose a designated shooter..
So, who from Bellingham, Vinicius or Mbappé to pronounce the sentence in front of the goalkeeper? This season, Jude Bellingham has scored a penalty, and missed one, Kylian Mbappé has scored three of the five penalties he has had to attempt, and Vinicius is 100% successful, with four converted penalties. Since the start of the season, Ancelotti has given his men free rein to choose the shooters, but the decision seems inevitable.
