Who is Daniel Yáñez, the Rodrygo from La Fábrica Who Has Made His Debut in Girona

He is a very skilled left-footed winger who is standing out in the Youth League thanks to his partnership with Fortea.

Daniel Yáñez is a young 17-year-old winger. The youth-team player made his debut with Real Madrid's first team in the 0-3 victory against Girona at Montilivi . The youth-team player is considered the "Rodrygo of La Fábrica" for his play style and his potential.

Yáñez has shone this season with the Juvenil A. He is the team's top scorer in the Youth League, with four goals in five games . Despite being a winger, his ability to get into the box and score has been key for his team.

A Match to Remember

Yáñez made his first-team debut in the 89th minute, when he came on for Arda Güler . In added time, the young winger experienced playing alongside Real Madrid's greats. This debut comes after having been on the bench during the Champions League match at Anfield against Liverpool .

Yáñez arrived at La Fábrica in 2019 , leaving his native Cádiz behind. The player stood out for his dribbling, boldness and powerful left foot, which caught the attention of the club's recruitment team. Since his arrival at Valdebebas, the winger has quickly made a name for himself.

It has no roof

In his first season in the Juvenil A, under the direction of Álvaro Arbeloa, Yáñez was a key player despite his youth. Today, he continues to show his quality with Castilla, where he has played the last eight games.

Alongside other youth players such as Fortea, Barroso, Diego Aguado and Valde, Yáñez has established himself as one of the pillars of the team . His connection with Fortea on the right wing has caused havoc in the Youth League. Now, with his debut in the first team, he is closer to establishing himself as a promising player in the Real Madrid youth academy.
