Franco Mastantuono makes his full debut for Real Madrid | OneFootball

Franco Mastantuono, the young Argentine forward for Real Madrid, made his debut as a starter this Sunday against Real Oviedo in the second round of the Spanish League.

The recent signing, who arrived from River Plate for a record-breaking fee in local football, turned 18 this month and has already earned a spot in the Madrid team's starting lineup.

Originally from Azul, Mastantuono is among coach Xabi Alonso's favorites, who highlighted in the pre-match press conference: “he has mobility, the ability to link up with those around him, and he doesn’t just go for individual plays.”

The youngster entered the starting eleven in place of Brahim Díaz, just as he did in the previous match against Osasuna, which Real Madrid won 1-0. In that game, Mastantuono played just over 20 minutes and showed glimpses of his quality.
