Álvaro Rivera, son of former Real Madrid player Alberto Rivera, and Beltrán Capote, who joined from Málaga's academy, enjoyed a remarkable weekend with the club's youth teams. The two midfielders featured in two matches within 24 hours, combining for four goals and five assists as they helped secure two convincing victories. After starring in Juvenil B's win on Saturday, the pair repeated the feat with Juvenil A on Sunday, establishing themselves as Valdebebas' latest attacking duo.

Their outstanding performances capped an impressive start to the season. The action began on Saturday with Juvenil B, the team for which both players are registered in their second year as youth players. Despite their importance to coach Alfonso Berenguer's side, Rivera and Capote started on the bench against Atlético Chopera because they were expected to feature for Juvenil A the following day.

However, with the result in doubt, the pair were introduced in the 75th minute with the score at 2-1. They immediately changed the game. Capote scored in the 78th minute from a Rivera assist, before Rivera found the net two minutes later with Capote providing the assist. Capote then set up Del Pino in the 86th minute to complete a 5-1 victory. In just 11 minutes, their combination had transformed the match.

Sunday brought another opportunity to shine. Several absences opened the door for both midfielders to start for Juvenil A against Rayo Ciudad Alcobendas. Coach Álvaro López selected the same midfield trio that had impressed with Juvenil C the previous season, with Rivera and Capote partnering Cherif.

The duo delivered another outstanding performance just 24 hours after their exploits with Juvenil B. Rivera scored twice, first with a spectacular effort into the top corner and then with an exquisite chip over the advancing goalkeeper. Capote contributed two assists as Juvenil A cruised to a 5-0 victory.

Their combined performances across the two matches highlighted the attacking quality and growing influence of two promising talents emerging from Real Madrid's academy.
