Reports: Real Madrid is the king of penalty kicks in La Liga

French star Kylian Mbappé opened Real Madrid's scoring in the new 2025-26 La Liga season, scoring the only goal for his team against Osasuna in the opening match. The goal came from a penalty kick in the 51st minute, his first goal wearing the number 10 shirt, which he wore this season after having worn the number 9 shirt in previous seasons. Mbappé received a yellow card in the 90th minute after disrupting a promising opposing team's attack, a moment that added a touch of tension to the end of the match. The match also demonstrated Real Madrid's ability to control the game somewhat, although the final score did not reflect the club's absolute dominance. Thanks to this victory, Real Madrid started its season strongly and joined the top of the La Liga table alongside teams such as Barcelona, Getafe, Espanyol, Villarreal, Athletic Bilbao, Deportivo Alaves, and Rayo Vallecano, reflecting the team's readiness to defend its titles and achieve its goals this season. Meanwhile, the renowned statistics network Opta highlighted that Real Madrid has been awarded the most penalty kicks in La Liga since the 2016-17 season, with a total of 85. Its traditional rivals, Barcelona, are second with 61, while Atletico Madrid are third with 51, confirming the Royal Club's dominance in this area in recent years. With this start, Mbappé and Real Madrid aspire to continue their strong performance and achieve more victories, while exploiting the Frenchman's ability to score goals and create opportunities, ensuring the team's position at the top of La Liga is strengthened and they continue to compete in all local and continental competitions this season.
