Marcos Llorente thrilled with Real Madrid debut

Marcos Llorente was thrilled to make his Real Madrid debut in victory over Levante.

The academy midfielder came on in the 77th as a substitute for Mateo Kovacic.

"I am very happy. I had already played in several games during the preseason, but today was my official debut and I am very happy with how my teammates treated me. I want to thank the coaching staff for the opportunity.

"There are always nerves at the start but when you get on the pitch you just feel like any other player. I played like I always play for Castilla and things went well. Whenever we play the fans really help us and I was surprised when I came on how much that really encouraged me."
