Franco Mastantuono and David Alaba were the protagonists of a short scene of tension during a free kick obtained by Real Madrid against Getafe. The young Argentinian absolutely wanted to take the set piece, placed slightly to the left at the entrance to the area, an ideal position for a left-hander. But Alaba, more experienced, won. The young Argentinian insisted for a long time on hitting, to the point that Éder Militão had to intervene to calm him down and keep him away.

The Austrian defender ended up shooting, hitting hard but too centrally, allowing David Soria to push the ball away with difficulty. If this kind of scene is common on a football field, Mastantuono's reaction particularly attracted attention. The young player did not hide his frustration at not being able to shoot and openly expressed his annoyance in front of the cameras.
