Something that has never happened at Real Madrid in nearly 30 years

With an average age of just over 25, coach Xabi Alonso has the youngest Real Madrid squad in nearly three decades.

Real Madrid has many excellent young players.

Real Madrid enter the 2025/26 season with their youngest squad since 1998, with an average age of just 25.07. For the first time since the 1998/99 season (24.88 years), the Spanish Royal team has such a youthful squad.

"'Baby Madrid' was born when veteran icons like Luka Modric (39) and Lucas Vazquez (34) left, replaced by teenage talents like Mastantuono (18) and Huijsen (20)," Marca wrote.

This was not a random decision, but a strategic move. President Florentino Perez once declared: "We are no longer just looking for superstars, we must also aim for young, talented players from around the world."

This policy created a generation of young players with great potential. Martin Odegaard, Endrick, Diego Aguado, Gonzalo Garcia and Daniel Yanez were given opportunities when they were under 20 years old and all made a splash.

Mastantuono is the latest gem in the "Los Blancos" project. The Argentine was the youngest player to debut for the national team. His presence has helped to reduce the average age at the Bernabeu, while creating a generation that can both bring a fresh style of play and maintain a winning identity.

Although they have been associated with superstars like Zidane, Beckham and Figo, Real Madrid's new era is built on a solid foundation thanks to long-term investment for the future.
