A critical part of Real Madrid's recent success, Marco Asensio is regarded as the future talisman for the whites.

He joined Los Blancos from Mallorca in 2014 but was loaned back to his former club and then to Espanyol. It was only in 2016, that Asensio was unveiled as a first team player for Real Madrid. He soon caught everyone's eye with his brilliant performances and spectacular left-footed long-range goals.

Impressed with his performance, Real Madrid legend and coach at that time, Zinedine Zidane said," Asensio has the best left foot since Messi."

At just the age of 22, Asensio has won many titles with Real including Champions League, La Liga, Spanish and European Super Cups and Club World Cup. He also won the U-19 European Championship with Spain. Asensio played a key role in most of these glories.
