The promising Brazilian, Venecius Jr., joined Real Madrid in the Primera Liga match for Espanyol tomorrow in La Liga. The young man is close to his first European Champions League match after moving from Flamengo.
The 18-year-old has not played for the first team since moving to Spain for 40 million euros ($ 47 million) and plays for Real Madrid.
Venecius may not even take part in the match at Santiago Bernabeu, where coach Julien Lopegeti has chosen a group of 20 players to be reduced to 18 days.
Real are second in the standings with 10 points after a 1-1 draw at Athletic Bilbao, while Barcelona lead the standings with 12 points.
The Brazilian scored three goals in three games with the second team, but his participation angered some in the second division, such as Felipe Yamazares, president of Coltural Lionessa, who said Venecius' participation with Real Madrid and the reserve team "distorted the competition."
