He gets along so quickly with his teammates, his skill, that cunning, always wanting to take things head on and take on the world is a very good thing. They're surely going to value him a lot.Angel Di Maria

Di Maria Happy to See Another Argentinian Back at Real Madrid

It's been a few seasons since Real Madrid had an Argentinian player in the starting lineup. In fact, it was indeed Di Maria back in 2014, playing alongside Higuain. The World Cup winner is happy to see a fellow countryman wearing the Los Blancos shirt again.

"For someone who's 18 years old and doing what he does, I honestly think he has a lot of personality. It makes me very happy that an Argentine is back at Real Madrid now and is representing us as well as he is."Angel Di Maria

Franco Mastantuono Has Strong Start to Real Madrid Career

Mastantuono netted his first goal for the club against Levante on September 23. That was followed this past week with his first assist in the 5-0 Champions League win over FC Kairat.

There is clear trust from Xabi Alonso, despite him being just 18, as he has started six of the nine games this season. He is keeping out the likes of Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz. It's only early, but he is expected to be one of the greats.
