Real Madrid starlet sends message of congratulations to teammate over Copa del Rey start

Real Madrid youngster Joan Martínez has this evening taken to social media, to send a message of congratulations to teammate Diego Aguado.

This comes on a special night for defender Aguado.

Real Madrid are of course primed to return to action in short order, in a Copa del Rey Last-32 meeting with minnows Deportiva Minera.

Carlo Ancelotti has opted to shake things up for the clash, introducing a number of lesser seen members of his squad to Los Blancos’ XI.

And amongst them, for the first time in his fledgling career, is 17-year-old Diego Aguado.

Stopper Aguado is primed to feature from the off this evening, joining Raúl Asencio in an inexperienced pairing at the heart of defence.

And quick to reveal his delight for the Spaniard, as alluded to above, was another highly-regarded up-and-coming member of the defensive ranks in Madrid.

Sidelined long-term at present, Joan Martínez has taken to his official Instagram account, to repost an image of the club’s latest XI, alongside the caption:

'Everything comes brother!', congratulating Aguado on his senior bow.
