Santos Laguna loses its first game in LaLiga
Santos Laguna began its season in LaLiga with a loss against Guadalajara Chivas, with a score of 0-1. This is the fifth consecutive loss for the team.
Marc Santos and other teenagers shine in LaLiga
Marc Santos, a 15-year-old player from Levante, debuted in LaLiga at just 15 years and 288 days old. He is the third youngest player to debut in Primera, behind only Luka Romero and Sansón. He entered in the 63rd minute against Espanyol and a bad day for his team turned into a good one.
In addition, other teenagers like Rafa Cruz, a 16-year-old from Las Palmas, debuted against Albacete. The winger is a player destined to make a mark on the league, say those who have seen him play in lower categories. Manu Rivera also appeared, who at 17 years old was a starter with Cádiz against Celta Fortuna.
The trend of teenagers in LaLiga
The trend of teenagers in LaLiga is becoming increasingly common. Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsí are the most evident precedent of this new normality. Lamine debuted with Barcelona in LaLiga at 15 years old, while Cubarsí burst into the first team at 16. What then seemed an extraordinary exception is starting to repeat itself in other clubs and with other names.
