Joan García and Another Espanyol Player Amazed Ancelotti and Real Madrid

They have their names noted down after seeing their performance this past Saturday.

Real Madrid's defeat in Cornellà was marked by a disastrous refereeing performance with several controversies. The non-expulsion of Carlos Romero for a savage tackle on Mbappé was the most talked about. But also the goal disallowed to Vinícius for a foul by Kylian when he was grabbed by the neck.

The Whites are clamoring for what happened but were also very alert to the performance of several players. On one hand, Ancelotti and Real Madrid didn't miss a detail of Joan García. The goalkeeper already impressed at Bernabéu and excelled again in the second round.

He is one of the names they haven'ted in their agenda as a possible alternative for the next season. Especially because although Lunin renewed, his future is still hanging in the air. The Ukrainian could leave due to the lack of playing time he is having at Real Madrid.

In that case, Joan is a goalkeeper they like to be Courtois's backup in the White team. They believe he would provide sufficient guarantees in case he had to put on the gloves in a match. They confirmed this again on Saturday when they faced Espanyol.

Not only Joan García left Madridists surprised

We already knew that the goalkeeper was going to have special attention from Real Madrid's management. But not only Joan García impressed them as they noted another name. It is Pol Lozano who was another of the players who stood out the most for his team.

He demonstrated great physical prowess both in defense and attack and was key for Espanyol. He moved between lines in play creation, gave speed to circulation, and looked to launch his teammates. Additionally, he sacrificed himself by breaking the superiorities that the Whites tried to generate inside.

At Real Madrid they didn't have him noted, but they left Cornellà with his name well learned. They don't consider signing him, but they will follow him very closely. He has virtues that if he continues to enhance with his growth could make the decision change.
