Supporters of Spanish giants Real Madrid have flooded to social media on Saturday, to make their excitement regarding the talents of youngster Alvaro Rodriguez clear.
For those who may have missed it, hitman Rodriguez was afforded his La Liga debut a short time ago.
En route to an eventual victory over Osasuna, the 18-year-old was introduced off the bench with just minutes remaining at El Sadar.
Safe to say, though, that Rodriguez was sure to make his presence felt.
After first seeing what would have proven a maiden assist ruled out, the Uruguayan youth international quickly dusted himself down, before laying on Marco Asensio for Real’s result-clinching 2nd.

And Rodriguez’s efforts have since certainly not gone unappreciated across the club’s supporter-base.
Many have gone as far as to call for backup centre-forward Mariano’s minutes to instead be afforded to Rodriguez, with just some of the highlights from across Twitter showcased below:

After careful evaluation of Alvaro Rodriguez’s player profile (I watched 2 minutes) I have decided that Real Madrid should give him all of Mariano’s money and playing time
