Real Madrid starlet makes a strong case for first-team debut with stunning UEFA Youth League display

Real Madrid’s rising talent, Jesus Fortea, has recently showcased exceptional skill and potential, making a strong case for his senior team debut.

According to Mundo Deportivo’s Pepe Gil-Vernet, Fortea’s performance in the UEFA Youth League has caught the attention of Real Madrid’s coaching staff.

The 17-year-old has been in the spotlight for his impressive plays this season, especially after his crucial role in Real Madrid Juvenil A’s 2-1 victory over Milan in the Youth League.

Fortea shines

It must be noted that the young right-back demonstrated resilience during what is undoubtedly a challenging period, but his performance on the field is showing his readiness to step up.

During the match against Milan, he was a key figure, assisting for the first goal and then calmly converting a penalty to bring his team to a 2-0 lead.

This display under pressure speaks volumes about his ability and hints at his potential to succeed with the senior team.

Fortea’s rise to prominence could not have come at a better time for Real Madrid. Following Dani Carvajal’s recent injury, the club has been left with limited options at right-back, with Lucas Vazquez as the only dedicated player for that position in the senior squad.

Carlo Ancelotti trusts Fortea

Given this situation, Carlo Ancelotti has already started integrating Fortea into the first-team setup, allowing him to train alongside experienced players and adapt to the dynamics of the senior squad.

Fortea joined Real Madrid’s academy in 2022 from Atletico Madrid and has quickly made a name for himself. His performances in the youth league and the trust placed in him by Ancelotti suggest he could be called up for senior duty sooner rather than later.

The young talent has even been registered in Real Madrid’s UEFA Champions League squad, signalling that his debut is likely just around the corner. With the team facing challenges in form and results, Fortea’s inclusion could offer fresh energy and an added option in defence.
