After the match, the 18-year-old attacking midfielder didn't miss the chance to pay tribute to his English teammate Jude Bellingham. "An incredible player! If we could play with twelve, it would be even better. Bellingham is truly unique," Mastantuono said, as quoted by Goal.com.

Having arrived this summer from River Plate, the young talent is in awe of the 22-year-old England international:

Honestly, I’ve never seen a player like him: such authority, such presence on the pitch. His composure and determination make him a different kind of footballer.

Thanks to this win, Real Madrid continue their perfect start in La Liga with six wins from six matches, sitting firmly at the top of the table.
