There are so many things that the winger does better than anyone in the football world, and scoring from 10 yards is also one of them.
No one has scored more penalty kicks in Europe's top five leagues than the 5-time Ballon d'Or winner this season. He has attempted 7 spot kicks in the campaign and converted an amazing 6 of them. He missed only one - to Roberto Gimenez, when Real Madrid played against Malaga on November 26, 2017.
