Javier Saviola spoke about Franco Mastantuono joining Real Madrid.

Saviola made the jump over to Europe from River Plate to FC Barcelona. At Barcelona, he would play at AS Monaco and Sevilla before joining Real Madrid.

The Argentine spent two years at the club before joining Benfica. Speaking in an interview with El Grafico, Saviola commented on Mastantuono joining Real Madrid from River Plate. Here is what he had to say:

“I see myself reflected in him.

“We have had similar experiences. He is very young, but I spoke with him and he is surrounded by good people. He has impressive maturity for his age. He speaks and thinks like a more experienced player. That is fundamental.”

Lionel Messi has made MLS history

Messi continues to make history in the MLS. The 38 year old was named as the Player of the Day for a sixth time this season after scoring a hat trick and assisting once in Inter Miami’s 5-2 win against Nashville.

The Argentine becomes the first player in MLS history to win the honor six times in consecutive seasons. He has now won the award 12 times and is already tied with Bradley Wright-Philipps for the third most in the history of the league.
