With the arrival of Lionel Messi at Paris Saint Germain, everyone is wondering who will be in charge of penalties. The list headed by Neymar and Mbappé has been joined by Sergio Ramos, another figure with plenty of experience in the field. Below we will try to unveil who will be in charge of the penalty kicker at the new PSG.

 

 

Who should kick the PSG penalties?

 

Lionel Messi has great results from the penalty spot, his 80% accuracy rate in the last ten shots is close to 78.57% of the total in his career. From the 2007/08 season to the present, Messi has taken 112 penalties and scored 88.

 

 

On the other hand, Neymar and Mbappé set the bar high at PSG. Of their last ten attempts, they only missed one. The Brazilian star missed it against Brest by several centimeters from the left post, while the Frenchman was stopped by Yan Sommer in Les Bleus' elimination from Euro 2021 at the hands of Switzerland. 90% success rate for both.

 

 

But when it comes to percentages, Sergio Ramos is the only one who can claim to be ruthless. Ten out of ten for the Spaniard, who made it clear that he is a danger in the opponent's area. Sergio Ramos has a flawless record from the penalty spot, having scored on each of his last 10 penalties, which is the best record of this quartet. While Neymar and Mbappe have scored nine times in their last 10 respective penalties. Lionel Messi reached eight goals in his last 10.

 


The decision will be in the hands of Mauricio Pochettino or perhaps in the players themselves who, being all top-level figures, will know how to decide who should kick each penalty at each moment, that's what it's all about, knowing how to take advantage of the best moments of each player.
