Kylian Mbappe was denied his first La Liga goal on Thursday during Real Madrid's disappointing draw against Las Palmas. A handball in the penalty area allowed the Blancos the chance to equalize in Gran Canaria, but instead of Mbappe, it was Vinicius Junior who took the spot-kick, who scored.
The decision for Vinicius to take did not come from Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian has typically organized Real Madrid's penalties, but for this season, he is leaving the decision to those on the pitch – as revealed by Relief.
It is expected that Vinicius and Mbappe will be the two main candidates to take penalties this season, so they are the ones who decide on the pitch at the moment. This could cause problems if they meet, although it did not happen on Thursday – Ancelotti, as well as everyone else associated with Real MadridI hope this continues.
