Madrid hand Rodrygo first-team call-up: he will wear number 25

Good news for Rodrygo. The Brazilian 19-year-old was made a member of Real Madrid's first team on Friday, after emerging in La Liga as a crucial member of Zidane's squad.

The right-winger has started his second season in a Real Madrid shirt and will now let go of his number 27 to wear 25.

In his first season as a Madridista, the ex-Santos star made 26 appearances for the first team, scoring seven goals. Moreover, he played three times for Castilla and managed to net twice for them.

This season so far, Zidane has called on Rodrygo just once, in the battle with Real Sociedad, when he started but came off after 70 minutes.
