Marco Asensio impresses yet again, scores on CL debut this time
Real Madrid youngster, Marco Asensio became the first Real Madrid player to score in three separate competitions this season. The 20-year-old found the back of the net in Real’s 5-1 drubbing of Legia Warsaw in their Champions League group stage on Tuesday.

The Los Blancos will next take on Athletic Bilbao in their league fixture on Sunday.
