The eleven homegrown players for Real Madrid in the 25/26 season: Xabi Alonso bets on La Fábrica

Long before his arrival at Real Madrid, Xabi Alonso built a reputation as a coach who bets on young talent. Although he hasn't even completed a season coaching the club, Xabi has already shown this. According to information from the newspaper Marca, Xabi will count on Carvajal, Asencio, Valverde, Fran García, Álvaro Carreras, and Gonzalo García.

Six players who know the structure of the team, having come up through its youth ranks. Although all of them are already familiar faces in the team, Xabi has bet on talents who have proven their worth. The other five youth players who will be in the first team are Daniel Yáñez, Thiago Pitarch, Diego Aguado, Sergio Mestre, and Fran González.

According to what we know at Defensa Central, Pitarch is the youth player who has impressed Xabi the most. Even so, looking ahead to next season, the coach will have a solid squad. From the goal to the attack, La Fábrica will have a presence in every position.

The importance of La Fábrica

Of all Real Madrid's youth players, Dani Carvajal is undoubtedly the most outstanding of them all. With an enviable record, Carvajal is also the player who has been a Madridist the longest. This has given him the honor of being the first captain for the season, holding a role that legends before him once had.

Asencio, Fran, Valverde, Carreras, and Gonzalo make up a group of already established youth players. Although Asencio, Carreras, and especially Gonzalo, haven't spent as much time in the first team, Xabi trusts them. This is clear proof that their talent and commitment are in line with what Real Madrid always seeks in its players.

With the other five youth players, Xabi Alonso has very high expectations for each of them. Thiago Pitarch, above all, has caused a lot of excitement for his performances with the first team. During the matches played in Valdebebas, Pitarch has shown that he is the organizer the club so badly needs.

More opportunities for the youth academy

With the presence of these eleven youth players, Xabi Alonso has completely changed Real Madrid. Instead of betting on big signings, Xabi's first season in charge of the club will be characterized by the youth players. This clearly shows the trust in the talent the club develops every year.
