Real Madrid have started their 2026-27 La Liga season in typical Madrid fashion, securing a late 2-1 victory over Espanyol.
Jose Mourinho and company have Carlos Espi to thank for securing all three points against the Catalan club, with the 21-year-old enjoying a dream start to his Los Blancos career.
His immediate impact has already caught the attention of former striker Joselu, who knows exactly how valuable a traditional No. 9 can be at the Bernabeu.
