The product of the Real Madrid academy to stay with the first team for the rest of the season

Real Madrid's lack of academy products in the first team has been a talking point this season following the exits of Nacho Fernandez and Nico Paz, who impressed at Como, while Barcelona lead the league with a amount of talents La Masia. However the opening stages of Raul Asencio in the first team they impressed.

Since Asencio came into the side, replacing the injured Eder Militao against Osasuna, the Blancos are also conceded. Marco they say he has been taken under Antonio Rudiger's wing, and the German defender has been “tutoring” the Castilla graduate in recent weeks. He became his first point of reference and in training, he spends a lot of time with him, although during the games he only gave him minor advice.

Meanwhile Relief say that with Militao out for the rest of the season, and David Alaba's fitness, Asencio will remain with the senior team for the rest of this year. His progress is held as an example to other players of the academy, who finally see a path in the first team that they can follow.

Asencio will be fully tested on Wednesday night at Anfield, where he looks set to start against Liverpool in a much more difficult environment. So far he has been error free and part of a generally more solid Real Madrid team.
