It may have been an underwhelming season opener for Real Madrid, but Los Blancos' goalless draw with Real Sociedad won't be forgotten in a long time for Marvin Park, as the youngster made his Madrid debut.
The 20-year-old academy product came off the bench to replace Rodrygo with 20 minutes remaining as Zinedine Zidane's side looked to break the deadlock at the Reale Seguros Stadium.
Park's senior appearance caps a remarkable journey in which the Spanish youngster came through the ranks of a number of clubs before finding a home at Real Madrid, including Tranmere Rovers.
The midfielder joined Rovers' youth academy as a nine year old in 2009, and spent three years in the North West before returning to Spain and playing for Ciutat de Palma.
He then went onto develop at La Salle and Jonquet Penya Arrabal before Madrid snapped up the youngster in 2016, and Park has flourished at Los Blancos ever since.
Park, who has represented Spain at U19 level, was born in Spain to a Nigerian father and South Korean mother, and barring his stint in England with Tranmere, has spent his life in Spain.
The 20-year-old was unable to make the difference for Zidane's side, though, with Madrid's title defence getting off to a steady start with a point at Sociedad.
Los Blancos had a mixed 2019-20 campaign, winning LaLiga ahead of arch rivals Barcelona, but they crashed out of the Champions League to Manchester City in the Round of 16.

he doesn't have confidence that's why he couldn't take that goal opportunity he had, if he wants to keep playing he better grow some wings real quick or else he wont last.

Good to see Zidane constantly bringing through young players the 3 behind Benzema tonight had an average of 20 Vinicius 20, Odergard 21, Rodrigo 19 seeing these players grow will light a fire in Zidane and excite the fans however they need to look for a better option than Luka Jovic a steady team for the next 7-10 years is slowly being built especially when you add the likes of Valverde, Kudo, Mendy, Reguillon(buy back clause), Mbappe and Haaland all in sights for Madrid's future
Arsenal have never been smart enough to send the players out on loan to the same club for more than. one season or sell young players with buy back clauses or have a galactico transfer window or won the UCL Madrid and arsenal are very different
