FIFA representative for Real Madrid “Marco Asensio” defeated Leganes 2-0 (goals from Hazard and himself) during the weekend to win La Liga’s online tournament. Seems the Spanish youngster brushed up his FIFA playing skills during his long-term injury.

The FIFA 20 La Liga Santander online tournament brings not only entertainment to fans but to help raise money in fighting the coronavirus. 142,000 euros was donated during the event,plus an extra 40,000 generated through views during the 3 tournament days. La Liga added 100,000 euros to the charity fund. 

Before Asensio won the online tournament,he defeated Granada’s Jose Antonio Martinez 4-2 to progress to the last eight. Goals from Hazard(1),Modric(1) and himself Asensio(2).

The main discussion was his line-up: 

Asensio’s Real Madrid starting XI:

Thibaut Courtois; Dani Carvajal, Raphael Varane, Sergio Ramos, Ferland Mendy; Casemiro, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric; Marco Asensio, Eden Hazard and Gareth Bale. 

It was interesting to see Marco Asensio start himself in attack alongside Gareth Bale and Eden Hazard while dropping Karim Benzema on the bench and starting Mendy in left-back position ahead of Marcelo.

Sergi Roberto (Barcelona), Marco Asensio (Real Madrid), Sergio Reguilon (Sevilla), Adnan Januzaj (Real Sociedad), Jason (Getafe), Marcos Llorente (Atletico Madrid), Carlos Soler (Valencia), Manu Morlanes (Villarreal), Jose Antonio Martinez (Granada), Gorka Guruzeta (Athletic Bilbao), Ruben Garcia (Osasuna), Carlos Clerc (Levante), Lucas Perez (Alaves), Pedro Porro (Valladolid), Edu Exposito (Eibar), Kevin Vazquez (Celta Vigo), Alejandro Pozo (Mallorca), Aitor Ruibal (Leganes), Adri Embarba (Espanyol)
