Real Madrid defeated Osasuna 4-0 over the weekend, in our last game before the international break.

The scoreline could have been 5-0, but Joselu missed a penalty kick late in the game.

After the game, Carlo Ancelotti was asked who his penalty takers are in the squad, and why Joselu played the kick.

He answered: “Every match, our penalty kick taker changes. Because there isn’t always the same line-up. Today in today’s line-up the player who had to take it was Joselu.

“I don’t know if the players on the pitch spoke to give it to Rodrygo, today’s taker was Joselu.

“Did he (Rodrygo) want to take it? I told Rüdiger that Rodrygo could take it if he wanted, I don’t know what happened, the players spoke.”
