Luis Enrique Names Vitinha as PSG’s New Penalty Taker

In a refreshing change for Paris Saint-Germain, the pressure of penalty decisions has been lifted as the club embarks on a new season. Ahead of the campaign, coach Luis Enrique appointed Vitinha as the designated penalty taker, stepping into the shoes of Kylian Mbappé. The Portuguese midfielder continues to establish himself as a key player within the Parisian squad and is expected to be on the pitch this Wednesday against Girona in the Champions League.

This season marks a significant transition for PSG as Kylian Mbappé has moved on, leaving the penalty role open. However, it didn’t take long for Luis Enrique to address this void. The coach swiftly named a new penalty taker, demonstrating his proactive approach to team management.
