What a way to announce yourself as a Real Madrid player.
Marcos Asensio is a 20-year-old Spanish midfielder who has been described as the next big thing in Spanish football by former national team manager Vicente Del Bosque.
Asenio was signed by Real Madrid signed for Real Madrid in 2014 but has spent the last two seasons on loan at Villarreal and Espanyol respectively, and has turned heads with his performances as a teenager in La Liga. He was handed the chance to start in midfield against Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup, and boy did he take his chance.
After picking up a loose ball, Asensio unleashed a knuckleball that found the top corner and left the goalkeeper stumped.
It really is all about that alternative angles:
A stunning strike, impossible to deal with for a keeper.
In a world where Paul Pogba just sold for €120, Real Madrid managed to pick this fella up for €4m, which could prove to be a fantastic bit of business.
