Real Madrid have handed a first senior start to midfielder Marvin Park for tonight’s La Liga clash against Getafe.
The former Spain Under-19 international is the son of a Nigerian father and South Korean mother and spent three years of his youth career at Tranmere Rovers – he featured briefly against Real Sociedad and Huesca in the league this season, but this is his first start.

Vinicius Junior and Marco Asensio will play either side of Karim Benzema in attack.
