Real Madrid has experienced a strange trend when it comes to penalties, but they will continue what they have been doing throughout the season – entrusting the Englishman Jude Bellingham with the responsibility.
Los Blancos have been unable to convert their penalties with any regularity this season. Vinicius Junior missed a penalty in preseason matches, while in official matches, Luka Modric, Joselu Mato, and Rodrygo Goes did the same, to the surprise of many.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti acknowledged his surprise at this occurrence, stating that ‘Luka usually does not miss penalties.’ According to Diario AS, Bellingham, by growing in confidence and scoring a penalty against Almerias in their last weekend’s return, has secured himself the role of the penalty taker.
This undoubtedly will help Bellingham in the goal tally race for the La Liga top scorer award, known as ‘Pichichi.’ The English star has 14 goals so far this season, but now Artem Dovbyk is equal with him, having more assists and playing fewer minutes.”
