#4 Most successful penalties taken by a player in LaLiga
The Portuguese is often taunted because of the number of goals he scores from penalties, but there is no denying the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo is a fabulous penalty taker. In fact, he has the record of taking the most penalties in LaLiga history - 72. Interestingly, he has scored 61 of them, which is also the most goals scored from penalties in La Liga history and it is by the power of his penalty taking that he registered another Guinness World Record.
Real Madrid welcomed UD Las Palmas on 1st March 2017 in the La Liga, however, a Gareth Bale red card meant that they were trailing 1-3 at home with just 4 minutes of normal time left. In the 86th minute, a James Rodriguez cross struck the hand of Castellano in the box and Real were awarded a penalty.
Up stepped Cristiano Ronaldo to slot home his 58th spot kick in La Liga, which saw him move 2 clear of Hugo Sanchez's long-standing record of 56 spot kicks. Ronaldo registered the Guinness World Record of most successful penalties taken and it is a record that still has his name on it till date.
