Franco Mastantuono returned to Real Madrid's starting lineup after months away. Spanish media offered mixed assessments of his performance.
The Argentine player had not started for the Merengue since February. His reappearance drew immediate attention from the local press.
Kylian Mbappé stated that coach Álvaro Arbeloa had assigned the youngster a specific role, using the phrase “Behind Mastantuono”. Minutes later, Arbeloa denied the comment.
Opinions on Mastantuono’s performance remained divided among the Spanish media that covered the match.
