The re-debut of Mariano Diaz

The biggest talking point of the entire match was whether Lopetegui will give Mariano his season debut for Real in the Champions League as people are anticipating some magic from the jersey holder.

And he stood on the expectations. He cashed on the pass from Marcelo and scored in the top corner. His 20-minute cameo in the game managed to impress not only his coach but also a previous owner of this jersey, and Real Madrid legend - Raul. In a way he honoured the jersey and it will be interesting to see him in the upcoming games.
