Olympique De Marseille Fans Create Chaos Outside the Santiago Bernabeu Ahead of Champions League Clash with Real Madrid

  • At 18 years and 33 days old, Franco Mastantuono set a new record as the youngest athlete to appear in the starting lineup for Real Madrid during a Champions League match, beginning Tuesday’s group stage game against Marseille at the Santiago Bernabeu.
  • Franco Mastantuono transferred to Real Madrid from River Plate on a contract lasting six years, with the transfer fee reported to be 45 million euros, equivalent to $53 million.
  • Xabi Alonso, making his Champions League managerial debut, reshuffled the team by leaving star winger Vinícius Jr. on the bench and starting Mastantuono for tactical reasons against a physical Marseille side.
  • During the match, Mastantuono hit the post early after a neat run and nearly scored in first-half stoppage time before being substituted by Brahim Daz in the 63rd minute to a warm ovation from the fans.
  • Mastantuono quickly became a crowd favorite for his skillful play, signaling Real Madrid’s investment in young South American talent and a potential new tactical approach under Alonso.
