Despite this miss, Bellingham did secure a stoppage-time winner for Real. However, the team has faced challenges with penalties this season. French superstar Kylian Mbappe has missed two penalties, while Vinicius Junior has successfully converted four in various competitions, including La Liga and the Champions League.

Ancelotti is prepared to take control of the situation by naming a designated penalty taker, aiming to resolve the inconsistent approach to spot-kicks at Madrid. He stated, “It bothers me that we have missed three penalties; I think I have to take responsibility for choosing who is going to take them.”
