Summary: Liverpool - Wolves 2:2 (Sport 1)

Real Madrid started yesterday (Saturday) for the first time in its history with a lineup that did not include a single Spanish player.

This is a rare event, which happened for the first time in the club's 121 years.

There have been games in the past where there were 11 non-Spanish players on the field, but there was always at least one in the lineup.

Dani Carbajal and Marco Asensio were in Real's lineup against Valladolid, and yesterday in the 2:1 loss to Villarreal they were left out.

Real placed in its first 11 players from seven different countries: three French (Tschaumani, Mendy, Benzema), two Brazilians (Vinicius, Miltau), two Germans (Rudiger, Kroos), Croatian (Modric), Baldi (Courtois) and Uruguay ( Valverde).

Seven different countries, none of them Spain.

However, in Spain, they know how to remind: those who scored for Villarreal yesterday are Yrami Pino and Jared Moreno, two Spaniards, who are probably good enough to beat the European champions and their international players.
