Not Mbappé: Real Madrid selects Vinícius Júnior as penalty taker

Real Madrid has been struggling with penalty conversions lately, and the club has now designated a specific player to take penalties whenever he is on the field.

Details: According to Cadena Cope, Carlo Ancelotti has decided that Vinícius Júnior will be Real Madrid’s primary penalty taker moving forward.

In their recent match against Valencia, Jude Bellingham missed a penalty, while Kylian Mbappé has already failed to convert two penalties earlier this season.

Ancelotti believes Vinícius is more composed under pressure and should be given priority for spot-kick duties.

Reminder: Vinícius Júnior will miss Real Madrid's next two La Liga matches against Las Palmas and Valladolid due to suspension.
