Nacho has been at Real Madrid since 2001. Having joined them as an 11-year-old, he went on to make his senior first-team debut in 2011. Nacho is a defender by trade and is comfortable playing anywhere across the backline.

The Spaniard has been Real Madrid’s fall guy for a few years now. Whenever the team needs extra protection in defence, Nacho is the man they call upon. On numerous occasions, Nacho has filled in for Marcelo while he has also played on the right side of the defence.
