Marc Casadó presents his candidacy for the Spanish national team with an exhibition against Espanyol

Marc Casadó continues to make giant strides in the first team of FC Barcelona. Not even the returns of Frenkie de Jong, Fermín López, Gavi and Dani Olmo seem to 'threaten' the presence of the youth player in the starting eleven, where he has earned a place on his own merit, without making much noise and thanks to his admirable effort and indisputable talent.

In the Catalan derby against Espanyol this Sunday, November 3 (3-1), the Barça '17' once again offered a recital in the center of the field. The footballer was in charge of supporting the midfield of a culé team 'turned' to attack, and despite being on the Montjuïc field for just 55 minutes, he provided his fifth assist of the season for Raphinha's goal in the 2-0 partial with a spectacular filtered ball.

Will Luis de la Fuente call up Casadó?

This assist was the third in a row after those offered to Lewandowski in the Clasico and to Raphinha himself against Bayern. His great form is unquestionable and he is one of the best players at the moment in his position, so everything indicates that Luis de la Fuente could call him up in the next international break to complete a midfield 'depleted' by the injury of Rodri Hernández, in what would be the 'icing on the cake' to his spectacular present at Barça.
