Real Madrid established a Champions League milestone during their victory against Olympique Marseille. The Spanish giants received their 63rd penalty in tournament history, breaking Bayern Munich's previous record of 62 spot kicks. Kylian Mbappe converted both penalties in the 2-1 triumph, with the second awarded for Facundo Medina's handball. Marseille coach Roberto De Zerbi criticized the referee's controversial decision as embarrassing. Sporting director Mehdi Benatia expressed frustration with the penalty call, comparing it to a similar experience at Juventus seven years earlier.

The penalty rankings demonstrate Real Madrid's new leadership position ahead of Bayern Munich. Barcelona follows with 56 penalties while Manchester City has earned 37 throughout their European campaigns. Arsenal completes the top five teams with 36 penalties awarded in Champions League matches. The record reflects Real Madrid's extensive participation and attacking approach in Europe's premier competition.
