Real Madrid breakout star gets the nod of approval from legendary forwards | OneFootball

Gonzalo Garcia has become the breakout star for Real Madrid at the FIFA Club World Cup. The 21-year-old forward has scored three goals so far, putting him just one behind Angel Di Maria, the tournament’s top scorer.

Gonzalo has also added one assist to his name and has started all four of Real Madrid’s matches in the United States.His latest goal, which came against Juventus, secured Real Madrid’s place in the quarter-finals.

Gonzalo’s performances have drawn praise from all corners. His teammates and coach Xabi Alonso have spoken highly of him, and Real Madrid fans are overjoyed to see a young academy player making such a big impact on the first team.

Adding to the praise, two Real Madrid legends have shared their support for the young forward.

Karim Benzema and Raul, who coached Gonzalo when he was at Castilla, commented on a photo Gonzalo posted on Instagram. Benzema used three fire emojis to show Gonzalo is “on fire,” while Raul added two clapping emojis to applaud his efforts.

Thanks to his strong performances, Gonzalo has won the trust of Alonso and captured the hearts of the fans. But now, as Real Madrid prepare for a crucial quarter-final clash, Alonso faces a big decision.

Kylian Mbappe is fit and ready to return to the starting line-up, and his world-class ability can terrify any defence. However, dropping Gonzalo, who has played such a key role in getting the team this far, seems harsh.

Many feel it would be unfair to bench Gonzalo now, especially since his hard work and goals have helped Madrid reach this stage. He is even in the race for the Golden Boot at the Club World Cup.

Alonso must decide whether to stick with the in-form Gonzalo or bring back Mbappe as Real Madrid chase Club World Cup glory. Whatever he chooses, fans will be watching closely to see how this exciting story unfolds.
