Carlos Blanco Moreno is far from the biggest name in Juventus' squad. Hell, he probably doesn't even crack the top 20.
But people will be paying a lot more attention to the young Spaniard after he scored one of the goals of pre-season.
The 20-year-old defender joined from Barcelona's youth set-up and announced himself with a stunner against Melbourne Victory from just inside the opposition half.
Opposition goalkeeper Lawrence Thomas was caught out by the deceptive effort, which relied more on precision than power.
