While Zirkzee’s debut goal grabbed the headlines, another player unexpectedly stole the spotlight among fans on social media.

One fan remarked, “Casemiro has been nothing short of world-class tonight.”

Another agreed, writing, “Best player on the pitch. Fair play, Casemiro 👏🏽”

A third fan praised the 32-year-old for his speed and sharpness despite his age, commenting, “Casemiro looks completely different from the player he was towards the end of last season. Quicker, more alert, and way too solid for his age 👏🏽
