Less than 24 hours ago, Nacho Fernandez was playing 98 minutes for Real Madrid in their Club World Cup semi-final victory over Al Ahly in Rabat.
Now, the Spanish international is back at home, having made the short flight to Madrid in order to be at the birth of his fourth child. Nacho posted a lovely video to his Instagram announcing the news.

Nacho has been a regular for Real Madrid of late, having had to fill in with multiple defenders having suffered injuries in recent weeks. The 33-year-old will hope to retain his place in the starting line-up for the showpiece event on Saturday.
