Franco Mastantono just turned 18 and made his debut as a Real Madrid player on Tuesday. The new star is from Argentina and his name is Franco - a name that sounds more like a surname in Spain, but is quite common in South American countries.

When the match against Osasuna was midway through the second half, Real Madrid coach Xavi Alonso decided to let the young talent appear. When the audience saw him take off his sportswear and prepare to go on stage, the audience shouted his name in unison: "Franco, Franco, Franco."

is obviously louder, easy to remember and eye-catching than pronunciation of a surname originating from Italy (it is said to be from "Antonio").

During this impressive 27-minute debut, Franco Mastantono touched the ball in total and had a shot attempt. Although his performance is still immature, he has shown great potential and hope. This debut not only brought new expectations to fans, but also made him the new darling of the Bernabeu Stadium.
