Real Madrid academy graduate Thiago Pitarch continues to enjoy a remarkable rise after establishing himself in the first-team squad, and the young midfielder is now on the verge of adding international silverware to his growing list of achievements.
The 19-year-old is currently representing Spain Under-19 at the UEFA European Championship, where La Roja will face Germany in Saturday's final.
While the immediate focus remains on helping Spain lift the trophy, Pitarch also addressed questions about his long-term international future and reflected on what it has been like sharing a dressing room with some of Real Madrid's biggest stars.
Pitarch has progressed through the Real Madrid academy before making the leap into the first team this season under Alvaro Arbeloa.
His impressive development has also earned him a regular place with Spain's youth national teams, although he remains eligible to represent Morocco through his paternal grandparents.
