Raul Asensio is preparing to join the Spanish national team camp next Monday in Las Rosas, after he played only 30 official matches with Real Madrid.
With his first summons, Asensio excels in terms of the speed of international appearances over senior stars such as Sergio Ramos (40 games), Iker Casillas (47), and Xavi Hernandez (74) who needed more posts before their first appearance with “La Roja”.
Historically, Jose Antonio Camacho appeared with the national team after only 27 games with Real Madrid in 1975, while the legend of the team, Raul Gonzalez, needed 88 games and 38 goals before getting his first chance after Euro 1996.
Asensio is now facing an exceptional opportunity to prove his worth on the international scene, in a move that reflects the confidence of coach Louis de la Fuente with his capabilities and capabilities.
