Franco Mastantuono was the protagonist on Tuesday in El Larguero on Cadena SER. The Argentinean reviewed the current situation of Real Madrid and other topics, such as the comparison with Lamine Yamal or the figure of Leo Messi.

"Obviously it was not the right way. He apologised to Xabi, he apologised to all of us in the dressing room. He apologised to Xabi, to the team he actually apologised. We are a team, we are all one, we don't go with individualities, but we are all united as one to get ahead, that's the important thing. Vinicius is an incredible person who is questioned a lot for how he is, but the truth is an incredible person who spreads joy, who is always ready to play. He obviously gets angry like we all do, maybe that way was not the right way but he quickly recognised it. He knows he is very important for the team, he is one of the captains. He apologised and I think he is an incredible person."

Praise for Messi: "I'm a Madrid fan and I'm at the biggest club in the world, but for me the best player in football and in the world is Messi and until the day he retires he will be. I'm with him in the national team and it's incredible, he leaves you speechless every time he touches the ball and it's very surprising that his own teammates are still surprised. I appreciate how he has always treated me."

Mastantuono, sobre Vinicius en el Clásico

"I have already talked about that topic. I don't like comparisons, but it's always nice to have rivals with the height of Lamine, from Barcelona, from Spain. They give motivation for one to be even better and hopefully be like that for many years."

"Today, Lamine. The truth is that he is showing an incredible level, he already showed it and he is in an incredible present. I'm just arriving at Madrid, I'm in a process of adaptation that hopefully will be fast and I can catch that rhythm of Europe and that rhythm of Madrid and hopefully it will be a very long story to tell and with many games like the last one we saw, which was incredible."

Mbappe or Julian Alvarez? You're bad...

Franco Mastantuono

"You're bad. I think both are in incredible form. Julian seems to me to be one of the best players in the world without any doubt, he already proved it in the World Cup being very young, coming off the bench and earning a place, scoring many goals. In addition to his good play and intelligence, a lot of sacrifice for his team, which is highly valued. Kylian is a born goalscorer, if today he is not the best player in the world, he is the second. Both are among the best players in the world, I get to play with both and each has its own. I stay with both, really."
