The team that came out as a powerhouse to make full use of penalties this year is Lyon. With each penalty scored, It has created records! Yes, the records for the best penalty conversion in Europe. The dedication and hard work can be visibly seen on the face of Memphis Depay who glued his focus on the ball and made the ball to flew away, right into the net. Apart from him, the reason for Lyon to be on the list are Houssem Aouar and Bruno Guimarães. Houssem was given the chance of two penalities and he was bang on in his work. And, same goes for Bruno Guimarães. He gave his tremendous contribution to the team by scoring a net.
Real Sociedad: 9 out of 12
Real Sociedad who has won Liga 80-81, 81-82 was almost unbeatable in the league this time too. But, was not able to get the best out of the penalties.

Monaco: 12 out of 15
The second team on the list is Monaco. Getting 15 chances is a huge deal. The Star player for the league was the center-forward Wissam Ben Yedder who did a fabulous job and made the best use of his penalties by scoring 10 net out of 12 chances. Cesc Fabregas also got lucky this time and got a victory in his only penalty. But, Monaco expected a little more from them, especially from Steven Jovetic who faced hard times in shooting the ball towards the goal.
