Breakout season at Osasuna\u2026 It was Osasuna who came calling ahead of 2025-26 to secure Munoz\u2019s services, providing another significant step and a platform for him to rack up game time. He played 2,766 minutes for Los Rojillos throughout the campaign and tallied 12 goal contributions (seven goals, five assists), claiming La Liga\u2019s official U23 Player of the Month award in both February and March and being shortlisted for the division\u2019s U23 Player of the Season.<\/p>\n
A range of skills… Analysis of Munoz\u2019s attributes typically begins with references to his explosive pace, aligned with an adaptability to play on either wing. But there is an all-round nature to his talents, too, with his unselfish play on behalf of teammates and willingness to track back and contribute defensively frequently noted. \u201cI think he\u2019s a lad with enormous footballing potential,\u201d said Spain boss Luis de la Fuente recently. \u201cHe\u2019s shown with the national team, at the highest international level, that he\u2019s ready to compete at that level too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Out on his own\u2026 Opta reported that Munoz delivered a singular feat across Europe\u2019s five highest-ranked leagues during 2025-26. His 12 dribbles completed in an Osasuna match versus Rayo Vallecano was the most of any player in one game in that season.<\/p>\n
A scorer on Spain debut\u2026 Munoz\u2019s maiden opportunity at senior international level arrived in March 2026 \u2013 and he grabbed it. Introduced as a substitute in the 63rd minute of a friendly against Serbia, the forward sealed a 3-0 win just nine minutes later with a first-time prodded finish. \u201cI\u2019ll always have a special memory of this,\u201d he reacted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Breakout season at Osasuna\u2026 It was Osasuna who came calling ahead of 2025-26 to secure Munoz\u2019s services, providing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":42813,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[19719,19720,5497,19715,19710,19721,19723,19722,2991,19714,19713,19709,19718,19711,19716,17,19712,19717],"class_list":["post-42812","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-spain","tag-alisson","tag-firmino","tag-homepage","tag-klopp","tag-lfc","tag-lfc-news","tag-lfctv","tag-lfctv-go","tag-liverpool-fc","tag-liverpool-fc-match","tag-liverpool-fc-news","tag-liverpool-football-club","tag-mane","tag-reds","tag-salah","tag-spain","tag-the-reds","tag-van-dijk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42812","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42812"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42812\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42813"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42812"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42812"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
