Real Madrid and Espanyol met in the fifth round of La Liga. Young Gonzalo García made his debut in Real Madrid’s starting lineup, which is a rare event for the club.

Details: At 21, Gonzalo García started for Real Madrid, becoming the youngest Spanish striker to do so since Marco Asensio’s debut in August 2016 against Real Sociedad, when Asensio was 20 years and 213 days old.

This season, García has appeared in three matches but had not started until now.
