A new star has been born at the Santiago Bernabéu: alvaro rodriguez. The young youth squad real Madrid has come to stay. He debuted with the first team in the Copa del Rey against Cacereño, where he barely stood out because he only played 22 minutes. However, his debut in the league was different. El Sadar was the scene and Osasuna the victim. Three minutes were enough for him to give two assists, even if it was only worth one.
Carlo Ancelotti gave him the opportunity in the Madrid derby and he has taken advantage of it in style with a goal. He came on in the 77th minute for Nacho, a totally offensive change, since time was running out for Madrid and they were one down on the scoreboard. After a cross from Luka Modric, Álvaro Rodríguez rose above the mattress defense to put the tables in the light with five minutes to go before extra time. Thanks to this goal, Madrid has managed to score a point, but it will be of little use if Barcelona manages to win in Almería.
Three official matches to show what it’s worth
Álvaro Rodríguez has only needed three official matches to measure up. Ancelotti has placed all his trust in him in these last two very important matches. He entered El Sadar with the game stuck and was able to unblock it with his goal pass and overflow. On the other hand, against Atlético de Madrid he has dazzled his physical and aerial power as well as his ability to throw the team on his back at only 18 years old. Madrid has found a new jewel in Álvaro from which he will be able to make a profit.
