Serie A2026/27Genoa penalty taker
Genoa's order is disputed. With Malinovskyi departed, Colombo converted Genoa's first current preseason penalty. Messias was the 2025/26 vice-taker when Malinovskyi was absent, and both current specialist boards rank Colombo, Messias and Vitinha in the filed order. Colombo's primary evidence is still a friendly plus specialist consensus, not a competitive like-for-like event under the final 2026/27 squad. Colombo's lead rests on a preseason penalty and specialist consensus, not a competitive like-for-like event. Conditions: A specialist signing or a departure among Colombo, Messias or Vitinha requires a reorder.
