Marcos Llorente

2017 MLS All-Star Game: Real Madrid v MLS All-Stars — Llorente against MLS All-Stars

When Marcos Llorente was shipped off to Alaves on loan last season, many didn’t expect him to be playing at the Bernabeu as a Real Madrid player the following year. And yet, here we are with Marcos Llorente as one of the members of the team and a firm fan-favourite.

Despite not playing much for the Blancos – his way has been blocked by Mateo Kovacic and Dani Ceballos – the fans rate him very highly and some even consider him as a better alternative to the brawns-over-beauty of Casemiro.

He was perhaps the best player of Alaves last term and there is no doubt that he will get his chances with the Galacticos – and given the talent that he possesses, it could be safe to claim that he will take them and prove his worth to the French manager.
