Who will take responsibility if Real Madrid are awarded a penalty vs Arsenal? | OneFootball

An insight into the plans of the coaching staff at La Liga giants Real Madrid in the case of their side being awarded a penalty in the club’s upcoming meeting with Arsenal has on Monday been provided.

This of course comes fresh off another outing to forget for Los Blancos from the spot at the weekend.

En route to a shock 2-1 defeat at the hands of relegation-battling Valencia in La Liga, Real Madrid saw Vinícius Jr. fluff his lines from 12 yards.

The Brazilian’s weak first-half effort was easily kept out by Valencia no.1 Giorgi Mamardashvili, dealing a heavy blow to the title hopes of Carlo Ancelotti’s side.

This marks far from the first penalty which Real Madrid have missed this season, with all of Vinícius, Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham having seen efforts from the spot kept out.

So, in the case of the capital heavyweights being afforded the chance to net from 12 yards in their upcoming Champions League meeting with Arsenal, who will be handed the responsibility of stepping up?

As alluded to above, an insight into as much has on Monday been provided.

As per a report from Marca:

‘The decision has already been made: if there is a penalty in their favor against Arsenal, the person in charge of taking it will be Kylian Mbappé.’
