Just a day on from a very productive day for four of the club's stars, it was a disappointing downturn in action, but still two positive results.

Here is how the club's international representatives fared in their respective matches around the globe on Friday.

Iker Bravo - Spain U21s (2-0 win vs Japan U21s)

Bravo was taken off at halftime as his nation battled to a 2-0 win in a friendly against Japan U21s on Friday evening.

The young Spanish forward was unable to continue his excellent form from the last international break, when he notched up a goal and three assists, as he struggled to impact the game against Japan.

Bravo will hope to have a more positive impact when Spain U21s travel to face Albania U21s in another friendly on Tuesday.

Mamadou Doumbia - Mali (3-2 win vs Rwanda)

Mali twice came from behind to beat Rwanda 3-2 in their African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier on Friday, but Doumbia played no part in the eventful win.

The 22-year-old striker was an unused substitute, as has so often been the case throughout his international career to date.

Mali move three points clear at the top of Group K following the win, and could extend the gap to six points with another win over Rwanda in the away leg on Tuesday, when Doumbia will hope to add to his eight caps.
