Barcelona's Lamine Yamal faces penalty competition from Anthony Gordon

Lamine Yamal, who served as Barcelona's primary penalty taker last season, scored six out of seven penalties. With the arrival of new signing Anthony Gordon, who boasts a 100% conversion rate from penalties over the past season, Yamal could face increased competition for this role. Gordon's successful record includes nine penalties for Newcastle United, further solidifying his reputation as a reliable option in high-pressure situations. As both players aim for key positions in Hansi Flick's squad, their competition will highlight the depth of talent on Barcelona's left wing. Preseason preparations are expected to showcase their battling for penalty responsibilities.
