Mastantuono will be the new recruit of Real Madrid soon. |
Playing the full 90 minutes as a central midfielder on the morning of June 18, Mastantuono contributed to the team's rhythm with his solid and aggressive play. He won 10 duels - the highest number in the match, completed 3 successful dribbles and drew 5 fouls from the opponent.
In addition, the young Argentine player also fired 2 shots, one of which was on target. In River Plate's opening goal, Mastantuono was the initiator. "In just one moment, Mastantuono showed his values and why Real Madrid chose him," commented AS newspaper.
Not everything was perfect, though. Mastantuono also lost possession four times – something that can be explained by the constant pressure and tight spaces he has to deal with. This is part of the process of gaining experience that any young player has to go through.
With a rating of 7.0, Mastantuono’s performance may not be anything outstanding by the standards of top stars, but for a player under 18 years old, playing in a tournament as prestigious as the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™, it is a necessary step forward. More importantly, he showed a willingness to adapt to the tactical role assigned to him - something that coaches always appreciate.

Mastantuono had a respectable performance in River Plate's 3-1 win over Urawa. |
Real Madrid have agreed a deal to sign Mastantuono, but will not officially sign him until after the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup™. The Spanish giants are not short of talent, but they are looking for players who can develop sustainably in the long term - especially in the transition period after Luka Modric and Toni Kroos.
With Mastantuono, Real Madrid are not looking for an instant star. What they see, perhaps, is a player who is learning the right way, and is patient enough to develop in the right direction. The match against Urawa was not a statement, but a signal - quiet, but noticeable.
