In a surprise move Real Madrid have reportedly chosen Kylian Mbappe as their new primary free-kick taker despite the French superstar never having scored a direct free-kick in his professional career.
According to Marca Mbappe will take over the responsibility from retired legend Toni Kroos who was renowned for his exceptional set-piece expertise.
The decision has raised eyebrows given that other players like David Alaba who has scored six direct free-kicks in his career and young star Arda Guler who showcased his potential with an impressive effort in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals may be more suited to the role.
Mbappe appointment as primary free-kick taker has drawn comparisons to Cristiano Ronaldo persistence with set-pieces despite struggling to convert opportunities.
