This week is one that Madridistas don’t usually enjoy. Why? Because Real Madrid doesn’t play any matches due to the international break for national team games.
However, it’s also a great opportunity to see our players in action with their national teams, and sometimes there are exciting matches to watch. Some players even make their debuts, like Asencio, who is debuting for Spain.
The Real Madrid players representing their national teams this week are:
- Spain: Asencio
- France: Mbappé, Camavinga, and Tchouaméni
- Croatia: Modrić
- Germany: Rüdiger
- Belgium: Courtois
- Ukraine: Lunin
- Turkey: Arda Güler
- Austria: Alaba
- England: Bellingham
