The youngster, who represents the Spanish club at a junior level, concludes the display by exchanging lofted headers with standing club captain Sergio Ramos before steering the ball into a nearby laundry bin.
The Real players, who face Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League final on May 26, explode in delight at the successful completion of the feat and mob the schoolboy, hoisting him into the air.
"Daddy's pride," Marcelo wrote next to the video here.
