‘A Silent Warrior’: Real Madrid Fans Demand More Minutes for the Unsung Hero Who Shone Brightly Against Las Palmas

Real Madrid produced a stunning comeback to defeat Las Palmas 4-1 and get back on top of the La Liga table.

Despite going behind in the 1st minute itself, a tour de force from Carlo Ancelotti’s side helped them seal all three points at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Kylian Mbappe won most of the plaudits for his heroics in scoring a brace, while Rodrygo has also earned praise for his good work.

But an underrated performer who has also impressed Real Madrid fans was left-back Fran Garcia, who produced a tenacious display.

He picked up the assist for Rodrygo’s goal and was a real livewire on the left wing, creating a few chances and also making three tackles.

Real Madrid fans on Reddit want him to get more playing time after his recent heroics, as here are some reactions.

Ready_Ad_1353: “Fran Garcia deserved his chance to showcase his abilities with Mendy’s recent performances.”

SaniaXazel: “He’s had better defensive and offensive stat in this match alone compared to any match Mendy has played this season.”

LeResist: “Needs to be starting over Mendy. I’m hoping he continues this lineup in the UCL.”

Zealousidealcow7233: “Fran is a hardworker man.. He deserve more minutes. He is a silent warrior. Never seen complaining or bitching about anything. Playing for the badge.”

Kolkatafikru9: “Fran is perhaps the only decent full back in the team rn apart from Carvajal.”

TheeNapGod: “I’ve seen enough. Fran has to start every game. Man is a machine.”
