Marcelo, though, has shown that even full-backs can pull off a few tricks, with the defender channelling his natural Brazilian flair.

Leaving the goalkeeper rooted to the spot is no mean feat, even in training when a lack of pressure allows for such experiments and challenges to be taken on.

Both men produced similar finishes, although Morata made the cleaner contact.

While it is unlikely that either will try something similar in their next outing, Madrid will be looking for inspiration from somewhere in what is shaping up to be a testing few weeks.

Zinedine Zidane’s side are entering a crucial stage of the season, with Wednesday’s trip to Leganes followed by a derby date with Atletico and the first leg of a Champions League quarter-final tie with Bayern Munich.

There is also the return date in that continental clash and an El Clasico encounter with Barcelona to come before the end of April.
