His debut for the first team came in the 89th minute when he replaced Arda Guler. Even though his time on the field was brief, Yanez had the rare opportunity to experience playing alongside Real Madrid’s top stars.
This moment came just after he had been named as a substitute during Real Madrid’s Champions League clash at Anfield against Liverpool.
Joined Madrid in 2019
Yanez’s journey to Real Madrid began in 2019 when he left his hometown of Cadiz to join La Fabrica.
His exceptional dribbling skills, fearlessness, and strong left foot immediately caught the attention of the club’s scouts. Since joining the club, he has quickly made a name for himself, impressing both coaches and teammates alike.
In his first season with Juvenil A, under the guidance of Alvaro Arbeloa, Yanez played a pivotal role in the team’s success despite his young age.
Yanez’s debut with the first team is just the beginning of his journey. With continued hard work and determination, he is aiming to secure a place in the first team and earn more playing time in future matches.
