Asensio was handed his Champions League debut by Zinedine Zidane on Tuesday night and availed of a gorgeous layoff from Cristiano Ronaldo to find the net and add to the goals he scored on his Real Madrid debut in the Uefa Super Cup and in his first game in La Liga.

Since that fateful February night, the Manchester-born youngster scored on his Premier League debut, England U21 debut, his full England debut and became the youngest player to ever score in a Manchester derby.
It could be fair to say that Rashford's feats may be more impressive just due to the fact that he's younger than Asensio and he's done more in his young career but that didn't stop fans on Twitter taking note of the resemblance between the respective emergences of the young talents.
