Félix Sánchez took him to the 2019 Asian Cup on seven caps, and the 21-year-old ended it starting the final against Japan. He won that tournament and the 2023 edition on home soil, and at Al Sadd has collected three Qatar Stars League titles and back-to-back Emir Cups, all after an unusual apprenticeship in the Spanish regional leagues with Júpiter Leonés and Atlético Astorga. Career record: club career at Atlético Astorga.
