JAKARTA - The presence of Lionel Messi at Paris Saint-Germain since last week raises the question, who will be PSG's penalty taker? Because PSG also has Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, as well as Sergio Ramos who is good at scoring goals from the penalty spot.

Many think that responsibility now deserves to be pinned on the shoulders of Messi as the main star in the PSG team. But in fact, statistics show the best choice for this role is actually Sergio Ramos.

According to MARCA, Ramos has a perfect record from the penalty spot. He has scored all the goals in his last 10 penalty opportunities. This is the best record.

Meanwhile, Neymar and Mbappe have both scored nine goals from their last 10 penalties. Messi is actually the least effective in this department, with eight penalties converted from his last 10.

Another similar situation will occur with PSG's free kicks. These four players will line up to surround the ball every time a free kick is awarded by the referee.

We will soon find out if Mauricio Pochettino will try to resolve this situation himself, or he will instead let the players do it alternately in every game.
