La Liga2026/27Espanyol penalty taker
Espanyol's order is disputed. Puado converted in August, Kike in September and Roberto in December. Roberto's assignment while Kike was involved gives him the strongest current primary case; Kike later took and missed in April. The role was shared and Puado's fitness clouds his availability, so a 2026/27 assignment can change the order quickly. Conditions: Reassess when Puado is fully fit and after the first 2026/27 competitive penalty.
