#2 The form of Sergio Reguilon
Sergio Reguilon first made headlines in October last year when he was the subject of a viral video which showed Sergio Ramos reacting angrily by kicking a ball at him twice during training.
Ramos's actions were largely condemned, but subsequent posts by the pair suggested that the matter had been buried.
While many people might not have known who Reguilon was back then, the 22-year-old is well-known by now as he has gone on to cement his place as Real Madrid's first choice left-back.
Reguilon joined Real's youth setup in 2005, aged just eight, and progressed through the ranks until becoming a main starter in the Castilla side under Santiago Solari.
He was promoted to the first team at the start of this season but found playing time under former boss Julen Lopetegui hard to come by. He had to wait until October to make his senior debut, just a few days prior to Lopetegui getting the sack.
However, his stock has improved since the appointment of his former youth team manager as the first-team boss as he has seen himself being installed named the first-choice left-back, following Solari's dropping of Marcelo. And Reguilon's performances have suggested that the Argentine gaffer made the right choice.
This is in no way to suggest that Reguilon is a better player than Marcelo (he has a very long way to go before even thinking of that), but at the moment he is doing plenty to suggest he deserves a starting spot ahead of his more experienced teammate.
While Marcelo might boast better stats in the attacking areas this season, Reguilon has made more defensive contributions, including winning more tackles and making more interceptions per 90 minutes.
Marcelo contributed in no small measure to the history of Real Madrid but it is increasingly looking likely that Reguilon is the club's future. For as long as the 22-year-old keeps up his impressive performances, Marcelo might find himself out of the first-team picture.
