Real Madrid defender Javi Sanchez is still floating after making his debut in the Copa win at Melilla.

The Castilla captain was handed a full 90 by caretaker coach Santiago Solari.

He said, "Ever since joining Real Madrid, my goal was to make my debut with the first team which is no mean feat.

"I'm focused on Castilla and I'm trying to make the most of any opportunities they give me with the first team. The coach told me to stay calm and play like I've been doing lately. I watch our centre-backs closely: Ramos, Varane, Nacho and Vallejo, because they're all fantastic and I can learn a lot from them."
