When these players start taking penalty kicks, their opponents anxiously follow the trajectory of the ball flying. Quite often the goalkeeper becomes helpless and the result tilts in favor of the opposing team. Barcelona's leader Lionel Messi and Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo intimidate their opponents not only with unstoppable breakthroughs, but also with dangerously executed penalty kicks. These two legends occupy the first places among players continuing their careers in terms of goals scored from this standard situation. Three other well-known footballers make it into the top five, but it seems that they will not catch up with the superstars in the near future. The most penalty kicks realized by players continuing their careers are:
5. A. Kolarov - 22 goals
4. H. Calhanoglu - 26
3. M. Pjanic - 26
2. L. Messi - 53
1. C. Ronaldo - 57
