“There’s always pressure when you join a club like Paris Saint-Germain,” Skriniar said. “I feel it a bit, but I feel I’m ready, ready to be part of this really big club. But I love pressure. I’m a defender, so we know what it’s all about.”
Asensio, who came through the RCD Mallorca youth academy, made his debut in the 2013/14 season. After joining Real Madrid in 2015, Asensio went onto win major silverware that included three La Liga titles, two Spanish Super Cups, three Champions League titles, four Club World Cups, three Super Cups and a Copa del Rey title.
