Carlos Espi impresses in pre-season with two goals for Real Madrid

Carlos Espi, Real Madrid’s new signing, has made a strong start to his career at the club during pre-season preparations. Despite being brought in with few expectations and not starting any matches, he finished as the team’s top scorer with two goals from just five shots in four appearances. Espi’s performance comes after the departure of Gonzalo Garcia to Fulham, allowing Espi to step into a role that manager Jose Mourinho seeks. His notable contributions include a header assisted by Marc Cucurella in a match against Schalke. As the La Liga season approaches, Espi knows he faces competition for minutes but aims to capitalize on opportunities to prove himself further.
