New Real Madrid right back Danilo has said he’s already feeling at home at the club and was delighted to make hie debut against Roma.

The Brazilian, a 32 million euro signing from Porto this summer, came on in the 70th minute of the match against the Italian side at the MCG in Melbourne. The game ended 0-0 but Roma won 7-6 on penalties. Danilo was one of the Real players to convert his spot kick.

Speaking to the official website after the game, the 22-year-old expressed his delight at pulling on the famous white shirt for the first time.

“I’m happy, it’s a very important moment and I’ll keep on working hard to get more opportunities. I feel very pleased; it was really special. I haven’t played for a while and it was important to start off without overdoing it. I’ve recovered from the injury; I want to adapt as quickly as possible, so as to be able to play to my peak level,” he said.

He added: “I feel really comfortable alongside my team-mates, they all have a lot of quality, I feel right at home and I’m very happy here. I’m going to work really hard. The role a full-back plays has to be balanced, working hard in defence and making the most of the chances that come about to join in in attack. The aim is to win every trophy.”
