Keeps clean sheet in win Vallejo made two blocks, three clearances and won one of two tackles in Saturdays' 4-0 victory against Espanyol. Impact With David Alaba (groin), Eder Militao and Nacho all either injured or suspended, Vallejo and Casemiro were the unconventional center back pairing against Espanyol -- neither had started a single game in defense this season in La Liga prior to Saturday -- but they held their own and kept a clean sheet. The 25-year-old has barely featured for Real Madrid, but he may see some more opportunities as the season comes to a close now that the title has been clinched.
