Between Morocco and France, Thiago Pitarch has definitively chosen
Real Madrid midfielder Thiago Pitarch has chosen to represent Spain. The young player has formally ruled out the Moroccan option by displaying his sporting ambitions with the Iberian selection.
Speaking on the channels of the Spanish Football Federation, the player justified his presence in the Spain Under-21 team by displaying his objectives. "My dream? To make my debut with the senior team and win titles," he said, before adding: "If I’m here, it’s because I want to reach the very top. Little by little."

This stance responds to calls from Morocco, the country of origin of his family, for which he was eligible. Yassine Bounou, the current goalkeeper of Al Hilal, had taken advantage of the mixed zone of the Metropolitano stadium after the match against Ecuador to reach out to him. "We will always welcome him with open arms," the Moroccan leader had assured, specifying that the player would do what he really felt.
Despite this strong media attention, the Madrid footballer maintains a modest approach to his career. From a modest family, he categorically refuses the status of a star within the selection. "I want to be one of the others. Not to have more importance than any of my teammates," he stressed.

His daily life is also anchored in a strict routine, exclusively shared between his professional training and the preparation of his last year of high school. On the pitch, he is delighted with the excellent dynamics of the national group, favoring good humor and the creation of strong bonds with his new teammates to build his future.
