Top 5 Penalty Kick Scorers in Serie A History

Penalty Kick Scorers in Serie A History: When it comes to converting penalties in Serie A, only a handful of players have truly mastered the art — and the names at the top of the all-time list read like a who’s who of Italian football’s greatest legends. Stats cover Serie A regular-season games only.

5. Domenico Berardi 🇮🇹

  • Nationality: Italy 🇮🇹
  • Penalty Goals: 49
  • Years Active: 2013 to present

All 49 for Sassuolo, and still going. Berardi is one of the cleanest penalty takers in modern Serie A. He picks his spot early and never looks back. For a player who spent his entire career at a mid-table club, that tally is remarkable.

His penalties account for a big portion of his 126 Serie A goals and place him fifth on this list with room to move further up.

4. Alessandro Del Piero 🇮🇹

  • Nationality: Italy 🇮🇹
  • Penalty Goals: 50
  • Years Active: 1991 to 2012

Fifty penalties, all for JuventusDel Piero was the first name on the team sheet when a spot kick was awarded. Powerful and direct, no theatrics. He picked a corner and hit it hard.

Those 50 penalties sit inside a career total of 188 Serie A goals across 478 appearances. Roughly one in every four of his goals came from 12 yards.

3. Ciro Immobile 🇮🇹

  • Nationality: Italy 🇮🇹
  • Penalty Goals: 52
  • Years Active: 2007 to present

Immobile reached 52 penalties mostly at Lazio and is still active, so the number is not final. Calm and precise from 12 yards, he rarely gave goalkeepers a chance.

Highest-Scoring Italian Players

In the record-breaking 2019-20 season, when he scored 36 Serie A goals and won the European Golden Shoe, 14 of them came from the spot. Out of his 201 Serie A goals, 52 were penalties.

2. Roberto Baggio 🇮🇹

  • Nationality: Italy 🇮🇹
  • Penalty Goals: 68
  • Years Active: 1982 to 2004

Sixty-eight conversions across seven clubs. Baggio was ice-cold from the spot in Serie A, scoring for every club he ever played for with the same measured calm.

The famous miss against Brazil in the 1994 World Cup final tends to overshadow what was actually a near-perfect penalty record in the league. Sixty-eight goals from the spot across two decades and seven different clubs tells a very different story.

1. Francesco Totti 🇮🇹

  • Nationality: Italy 🇮🇹
  • Penalty Goals: 71
  • Years Active: 1992 to 2017

The record belongs to Totti and it is not close. Seventy-one penalties for one club, one city, across a 25-year career. What made him different was the cucchiaio, the chipped penalty scooped softly down the middle as the goalkeeper committed to a dive. He used it in big moments when most players would never dare.

His 250th Serie A goal, scored at the age of 40, came from the penalty spot. Of all his records at Roma, the 71 spot kicks may be the hardest one to ever beat.
