The player in question? Fran Garcia.
Left-back Garcia, for his part, enjoyed a superb outing on Sunday evening, laying on both of his side’s goals courtesy of a clever pull-back, and pinpoint cross.
And, as revealed by statisticians Opta, in the process, he became ‘the youngest Real Madrid defender to register two assists in the same LaLiga game since (club legend) Marcelo’.
