In his Bundesliga career, he has now given away a total of seven penalties. However, there are players who have been responsible for even more. The “kicker” has compiled a list highlighting these players. Who are the most frequent foulers in the penalty area?
8th place — Benjamin Henrichs
8th place — Dominique Heintz
Both players have conceded six penalties each during their 215 Bundesliga matches, playing for teams such as 1. FC Köln, Freiburg, Bochum, and Union Berlin.
4th place — Nicolas Höfler
In 283 Bundesliga appearances for Freiburg, Höfler has also given away seven penalties.
4th place — Jeffrey Gouweleeuw
4th place — Manuel Neuer
Neuer has also conceded seven penalties, but in a remarkable 532 Bundesliga matches with Bayern Munich and Schalke 04. He is the only goalkeeper on this list.
4th place — Keven Schlotterbeck
Schlotterbeck has matched this total, giving away seven penalties over 134 Bundesliga appearances for Augsburg, Bochum, Freiburg, and Union Berlin.
2nd place — Kevin Akpoguma
2nd place — Niklas Stark
1st place — Dayot Upamecano
The Bayern Munich defender currently tops the list as the player who has given away the most penalties in Bundesliga history. A small silver lining for Upamecano is that the players in second place could potentially tie with him through a single incident.
