Pastore: “Mastantuono has to adapt but Real Madrid have to adapt to him as well”

Former PSG midfielder Javier Pastore spoke to the press on April 30, 2026, about 18-year-old Franco Mastantuono's difficult debut season at Real Madrid. Pastore praised Mastantuono's talent but stressed that patience is needed, noting the teenager requires support from the team to perform, unlike more individualistic players such as Vinicius or Mbappé. He emphasized that the adaptation must be mutual, with both Mastantuono and Real Madrid adjusting to each other.
