We’re just under a month away from the start of the 2018 World Cup, and the world is eagerly waiting. As the domestic season comes to a close, the best players in the world are now setting their eyes on Russia. Next in our club-WC series is Real Madrid. As a team that’s won the UEFA Champions League two times in a row, it’s no surprise that Los Blancos will have a host of players representing them at the 2018 World Cup.
Here are 5 Real Madrid players to watch out for in the World Cup.
4Marco Asensio
Many cite Kylian Mbappé as the golden boy of this generation, but this season Marco Asensio has staked his claim to that title too. Zinedine Zidane has placed ample amounts of trust in the youngster, translating into 26 starts for Real Madrid.
In that time, the 22-year-old has directly contributed to 16 goals. In Russia, Asensio will be a starter depending on the form of Isco. But Asensio’s versatility gives him a good chance of starting in a fluid Spanish team.
