5 things we learnt from Real Madrid’s pre-season tour

#3 Marco Asensio – One to watch out for

Asensio is destined for great things in the future

Marco Asensio played an integral role in Real Madrid’s double winning campaign last season. The Spanish midfielder notched up 38 appearances across all competitions for Los Blancos, scoring 10 goals in the process.

However, it wasn’t until the recently concluded UEFA European Under-21 Championship that he showcased the range of skills that he possesses to the entire world.

The 21-year-old was a key player for the Spanish side – who finished runners up, losing to Germany in the final. Asensio not only was a threat with his goalscoring, he was also a treat to watch as he glided past defenders. The Spaniard finished the tournament as the joint second-highest scorer, and was also named in the Team of the Tournament.

Asensio is destined for great things in the future and it is safe to say that Real Madrid have a real gem in their team.
