Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti has on Sunday reiterated the penalty-taker pecking order in his squad.

Real, of course, benefitted from a spot-kick decision earlier today, during the club’s meeting with Getafe.

Kylian Mbappé, in the midst of a stellar individual display, was afforded the responsibility of stepping up from 12 yards, dispatching his ensuing effort in confident fashion.

This came with Jude Bellingham having also been on the pitch, but Vinícius Jr. absent owing to suspension.

All three of Los Blancos’ headline stars have on different occasions this season stepped up to take responsibility of penalty kicks.

Speaking to the media on the back of the full-time whistle in Spain’s capital this evening, the topic of the spot-kick situation in his squad was in turn put to Carlo Ancelotti once more.

And the Italian tactician did not hesitate in reiterating:

“Penalty takers? Vinícius, Mbappé, Bellingham. In that order.”
