Real Madrid make the trip to Girona on Tuesday, and one man is all smiles after stunning the reigning LaLiga champions.

On loan New York City FC striker Taty Castellanos had a dream start against Los Blancos, netting twice after only 25 minutes.

Real Madrid are without Thibaut Courtois tonight due to illness, but don’t let that take away from the Girona No. 9’s goals, as both were brilliant solo moves.

The 2021 MLS Golden Boot winner first peeled off defenders and lept highest to head home the opener before driving past Éder Militão with ease for 2-0.

He came out firing again in the second half and secured his first LaLiga hat-trick within 46 seconds after being left unmarked in the box before eventually adding a fourth by the hour mark.

The last four players to net at least three times against Los Blancos were Xabi Prieto (2013), Lionel Messi (2014), Luis Suarez (2018) and Carlos Soler (2020).

At this rate and with his loan ending this June, maybe Carlo Ancelotti will want to sign Castellanos as a backup to Karim Benzema!
