Real Madrid superstar striker Kylian Mbappe is looking to three peat the Pichichi race, and he was buoyed by an incredible penalty record that invokved the sort of cold blooded clinical efficiency his idol Cristiano Ronaldo once exhibited from the spot at the Santiago Bernabeu.
But is he the best penalty kick taker in the world? Here is how Mbappe ranks among the five best in the world.
5. Hoffenheim ST Andrej Kramaric
Andrej Kramaric somehow still isn't a household name to the average European football fan, but he is one of the most prolific striker in the history of the Bundesliga and has arguably become better with age, setting up the younger attackers at Hoffenheim with great chances. From the spot, he has been literally flawless with no missed penalties over the past three years.
4. Chelsea AM Cole Palmer
Icy Cole Palmer is one of the biggest winners of the summer after Chelsea hired a real coach in Xabi Alonso, and whlie he had an off year, he was still nearly automatic from the spot. His technical quality and poise under pressure make him a deadly weapon from the spot.
3. Real Sociedad ST Mikel Oyarzabal
Mikel Oyarzabal was one of the unsung heroes of the Spanish national team in their 2026 World Cup win, scoring goals for fun and letting the rest of the world outside of La Liga know his name. The left footed Real Sociedad icon is as cool and collected as they come from the spot, nailing all seven of his penalty kicks last season. He is just as good as Kylian Mbappe and Harry Kane from 11 meters.
2. Real Madrid ST Kylian Mbappe
Out of the 25 goals Mbappe scored, the Frenchman had 8 from the spot in La Liga, and he only missed one penalty. With every passing season, Mbappe becomes more automatic from the spot, learning the Dark Arts of the ways of leaning the keeper the wrong way and using the art of deception. Mbappe is a technically brilliant football and one of the world's elite strikers of the football, and that is exhibited regularly from penalties
1. Bayern Munich ST Harry Kane
Harry Kane just edges out Mbappe on the list of the best penalty kick takers in world football, having scored one more spot kick than the World Cup Golden Boot winner. The Bayern Munich striker is as much of an artist from penalties as his predecessor Robert Lewandowski with his cool precision, and there isn't a better technician or more accurate shooter on the planet right now than the English icon.
