A patched-up Real Madrid had to hang on for a 1-1 draw away at in-form Villarreal on Saturday, handing Barcelona and Atletico Madrid the chance to capitalise in La Liga.
Mariano was almost sold last summer but had to stand in for Karim Benzema, who is injured, and Luka Jovic, who tested positive for coronavirus on Friday.Given their absentees, a draw may not worry Zidane too much, particularly against a Villarreal side who sat second at kick-off after four victories on the bounce.
Mariano had not started for Real Madrid since May 2019, when he again scored early against Villarreal after just 83 seconds.
