Raúl Asensio, Real Madrid's defender, expressed his great happiness after receiving the news of his first call-up to the Spain national team following his outstanding performance with the first team in recent times.

Asensio talked about the moment he learned the news, saying: "I was in the middle of training when suddenly coach Carlo Ancelotti appeared and informed me of my inclusion in the Spain national team list. You can imagine the reaction of my teammates; they all congratulated me, and it was truly amazing."

Asensio's call-up came from coach Luis de la Fuente after he delivered a remarkable performance with Real Madrid, taking advantage of the opportunity he received following the injury of Brazilian Eder Militao, who suffered a torn ACL.

This call-up is a significant step in the young defender's career, as he continues to prove his worth within the ranks of the Merengues, earning the chance to represent his country at the international level.
