Raúl Asencio's rise from ninth choice to Real Madrid linchpin

Summary

78% Informative

Raúl Asencio is making only his third Champions League start for Real Madrid against Manchester City .

The 21-year-old centre-half will have to contain Erling Haaland, who has scored 47 goals in 47 Champions League matches.

Ascentio is only in the first team because of a plague of injuries among Madrid 's central defenders.

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is guilty of not having handled the youngster's progression very well.

Asencio was arguably the match's best player in Saturday 's 1-1 draw with Atlético Madrid .

He was robust in the way he patrolled Atleti 's strikers and was lightning-fast with his sprints.

The Bernabéu fans didn't take long to chant his name -- a rare, almost unheard of, honour for someone who has only just hit double-figure first team appearances.
