Lionel Messi has become the latest star addition at Paris Saint-Germain, as he joins up with a squad featuring the likes of Sergio Ramos, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.
Given their status as four of the most renowned players in world football, all of whom will be in the same team, one question will inevitably have to be answered: who will take penalties for PSG?
Whilst few would be surprised if the responsibility were to fall on Messi's shoulders, as the main star in PSG's side, a glance at the statistics shows why the best option for this role might in fact be Sergio Ramos.
An impeccable record
Ramos has a flawless record from the penalty spot, having scored in each of his last 10 penalties, which is the best record of this quartet.
Neymar and Mbappe have both scored nine times from their last 10 respective penalties, whilst Messi is in fact the least effective in this department, with eight converted spot-kicks from his last 10.
Another similar situation is set to take place with PSG's free kicks, with a queue made up of these four players set to form around the ball each time a key free kick is awarded.
We will soon find out whether Mauricio Pochettino will look to resolve this situation himself, or whether he will allow the players to do so in each match.
