Paris Saint-Germain are considering the possibility of assigning penalty duties to different players within the squad. The French champions have not been efficient enough from the spot this season, despite the importance of this decisive aspect of the game.
Doubts have emerged at Paris Saint-Germain regarding their penalty execution. Following Vitinha’s miss in the first leg of the Champions League play-off against AS Monaco — despite a 3-2 victory — the Parisian side now holds a worrying record: only five penalties converted from nine attempts this season.
Penalty Struggles Force Luis Enrique to Rethink Options
This lack of efficiency could prompt head coach Luis Enrique to reconsider the current hierarchy of penalty takers, according to reports from Le Parisien. Improving success from the spot has become a clear priority ahead of crucial fixtures.
While Ousmane Dembélé (three goals from five attempts) and Vitinha (one from two) are expected to maintain significant roles, competition is intensifying. Désiré Doué, Nuno Mendes, and Gonçalo Ramos — all impressive during penalty shootouts — could gain ground in this specific responsibility.
Another credible candidate is Achraf Hakimi, whose technical quality and composure under pressure make him a strong alternative. With decisive matches approaching, penalty management is becoming a major strategic issue for Paris.
