Espí shines to catch De la Fuente's attention

Carlos Espí started his season with a crucial goal against Espanyol, in Real Madrid's first home match in La Liga, contributing to the team's launch with three points and preventing an early stumble.

In the next round against Real Betis, José Mourinho turned to Spanish forward Carlos Espí in search of an equaliser, and Espí nearly managed to level the score with a stunning bicycle kick, but a matter of mere centimetres denied the player from scoring one of the season's most beautiful goals.

In the match against Elche, Carlos Espí appeared once again at the right moment. With Real Madrid struggling and on the verge of dropping two more points, Mourinho brought on his striker, and the player needed just four minutes on the pitch to score the winning goal, giving the team three valuable points.

With Carlos Espí's arrival at Real Madrid, it seems the team has regained one of the elements it missed last season: a player capable of changing the outcome of matches in the final minutes. After scoring only three decisive goals during stoppage time last season, Espí has already raised his tally to two crucial goals this season.

Carlos Espí's brilliance is not limited to Real Madrid, as his name is also strongly present in the considerations for the Spanish national team. Luis de la Fuente is expected to announce the first squad for the Spanish national team on Friday following their World Cup victory, and indications suggest that Espí is a strong candidate to be included in the list, having previously been part of the preliminary squad before participating in the last World Cup.

With Borja Iglesias absent and a desire to inject new blood into the national team's attack, a Real Madrid forward has become one of the names attracting the attention of the Spanish coaching staff.

Carlos Espí continues to establish himself as one of the key attacking solutions at Real Madrid this season, having become a decisive player who earns the team points in difficult moments, embodying the club's motto "until the end" on the pitch.
