Nacho didn't even get out of the blocks this season Real Madrid Fallen down the pecking order

Nacho goes out every season with the aim of proving why he belongs at Real Madrid.

The defender has done just that throughout his whole career, staying in the first team squad despite never really establishing himself as a starter.

However, this season seems to have marked the end of the line for the 30-year-old, with his role within the squad diminishing over the course of the campaign.

He's not been given many chances this season and, while a knee injury is partly to blame, his status amongst the team looks to be falling.

The arrival of Eder Militao last summer pushed the Spaniard further down the pecking order at centre-back, forcing him to wait for an opportunity to arise at full-back.

Nacho's last appearance in LaLiga Santander came on January 26 as he scored the winner against Real Valladolid.

In spite of this important contribution, he didn't feature in any of Real Madrid's following six LaLiga Santander games before coronavirus suspended football.

Throughout the season, Nacho has played just nine games, with the Madrid derby at the Wanda Metropolitano the most high profile of them.

He was also present in the Los Blancos team that was dumped out of the Copa del Rey by Real Sociedad at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
