The Colombian is in top form and he score another double, this time against Granada. He has scored five goals in four fixtures, but his brace was somewhat impressive for a different reason.
James Rodriguez managed two goals in the first ten minutes, something that is only within reach of a few footballers. In fact, the team star Cristiano Ronaldo has never achieved such a precocious double.
The Portuguese ace has scored numerous braces for Real Madrid, but never at such an early stage of the match, like James Rodriguez did on Saturday, according to data published by 'Mister Chip'.
The feat is so impressive that the other great player of our time, Leo Messi, has only managed to do it once in his entire career. No Real Madrid footballer had done it since 1994, when Zamorano did it in Sevilla.
