The youngster has been included in Luis Enrique's list for the game on Sunday night

It's hard to see him playing at the Santiago Bernabeu but it's another step forward in his career

Carles Alena will always remember St George’s Day, 2017. On April 23 Luis Enrique included him in the squad list for the game against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.

While the player has made his debut in La Liga and the Copa del Rey, this is the first time he has been included in a first team squad for the Clasico.

His first-team debut came in the cup against Herucles, Alena scoring in the 1-1 draw.

The 19-year-old also came on for a handful of minutes against Granada and Sevilla in recent weeks. 

He has also been called up in the Champions League, against Juventus, but did not come on to make his debut in that competition.
