Revealed: One England star TOPS the list of the top 15 penalty-takers in international football, but one of his team-mates just missed out making the top 10 - along with Kylian Mbappe!

Daily Mail  

England's major tournament debutant Cole Palmer has been named as the number-one penalty-taker in international football in a new report. Cole Palmer's showing from the spot has earned him his place at the top of a list of the game's best takers Palmer is closely tracked by his England team-mate Ivan Toney, who pulled off an excellent no-look effort against Switzerland Gareth Southgate's side triumphed in the shoot-out to book their place in the Euros semi-finals Ivan Toney is deemed the second-best in the world, with 30 scored to Palmer's 14 - although the Brentford striker has missed two, and Palmer zero. Ronaldo's towering goalscoring record is predominantly made up of goals from open play, but the former Real Madrid superstar has previously put away 163 penalties, missing 30. Robert Lewandowski, on 80 penalties scored and just nine missed, rounds out the top five, with Ronaldo's closest rival for the highest number of spot-kicks scored - Lionel Messi, with 110 put away - could only make 9th place. Cristiano Ronaldo makes the top five having put away an enormous amount of penalties Lionel Messi was unlucky to miss his latest effort when a panenka went awry against Ecuador Erling Haaland is the highest ranked Premier League star who did not travel to Germany for this summer's Euro 2024 Of Premier League stars, Erling Haaland ranks sixth in the standings on 45 scored with five missed, just above stuttered run-up maestro Jorginho in seventh, with the two remaining domestic stars - Joao Pedro, Alexis Mac Allister and Bukayo Saka - sitting in 13th, 14th and 15th place respectively.
