Some strike

Marco Asensio, remember the name.

Real Madrid snapped up the Spaniard from Mallorca back in 2014, but it would take him over two years to make his full professional debut for the club.night.

After signing for Madrid for €3.9m, Asensio was immediately loaned back to Mallorca for a full season, before being loaned out to Espanyol the following campaign.

However, on Tuesday night, Asensio finally took to pitch for the Madrid senior team as Zinedine Zidane picked him ahead of James Rodriguez in the Uefa Super Cup against Sevilla.

And boy did he make a serious impression in his debut, scoring a beautiful goal from distance that will live long in the memory of everyone who witnessed it being scored.
