Real Madrid's squad is looking stronger with every viewing, with youngsters like Javi Sanchez, Fede Valverde, Odriozola, Vinicius, and Regulion all impressing every time they step onto the pitch.

Solari, unlike his predecessor, has placed a lot of faith in the youth at the club, and his faith is being repaid in fine fashion, with the kids performing excellently, and despite making an odd error here and there, have become a consistent source of joy for the club's fans in this transitional phase.

Vinicius started his first game in front of the Bernabeu faithful, who were not disappointed as the Brazilian teenager showcased his best traits, running aggressively with the ball, trying to take on players and beating them, all whilst occupying defenders attention to free up spaces for others to attack and capitalise.

Javi Sanchez looks more assured every time he dons the white, and barring his error to give away the penalty, he was very impressive alongside Vallejo, and both youngsters had a great game at the heart of the defence.
