Las Palmas 0-3 Real Madrid: 5 Talking Points

Real Madrid put three past a hapless Las Palmas side

#4 Nacho Fernandez's injury only blot on Real Madrid's otherwise perfect day

Real Sociedad v Real Madrid - La Liga
Nacho suffered the first injury of his senior career

Nacho has been the go-to man for Real Madrid in the past few years. The defender has filled in whenever required and done consistently well for the club. With Dani Carvajal suspended, Nacho started at right back against Las Palmas.

But in the 29th minute, he was taken off and replaced by Achraf Hakimi. At first, the injury did not look serious enough to warrant a substitution but it emerged that Nacho had pulled his hamstring and hence could take no further part in the game.

Madrid's utility man looked visibly distraught after his substitution as he took a seat on the bench. He was in tears, a sight no one wants to see in the game of football.

This is Nacho's first injury since his debut for Real Madrid, which goes to show the defender's high fitness levels. Real Madrid would hope to have Nacho back as quickly as possible as they look to end the season on a high.
