Real Madrid are the kings of penalty kicks in the Big Five leagues
Real Madrid tops the list of teams that have received the most penalties in the top five European leagues this season, with its players having received 13 penalties so far, a number that reflects the team's strong attacking presence and frequent presence inside the opponents' penalty areas.
Real Madrid were awarded two penalties during their 4-1 victory over Real Sociedad on Saturday night in La Liga's Matchday 24.
