Five members of the Garnacho family were present in the Old Trafford directors' box for Alejandro's first Manchester United start and there were five times as many in the Reale Arena on Thursday night.
United supporters nearby estimated there were 25 members of the Garnacho fan club present, the majority having travelled from Madrid, where Alejandro was born.
Like in Manchester a week earlier, Garnacho's brother wept. This time, so did his father - in celebration of his son's first career goal against Real Sociedad. Garnacho's mother and father are the inspirations he credits with his development.
