Zidane was only slightly complimentary of the attacker after his side earned La Liga bragging rights.
“Everyone can say, he is the third striker of the team and today he had a chance and he did well,” Zidane said of Mariano.
“He is one more and I count on everyone, he did not have many minutes so far but I am glad for his goal.”
Real’s former head of scouting, Manolo Romero, took Mariano to the Bernabeu during his 20 years at the club.
