He started and played the full 90 minutes against Atletico Madrid. He also completed another full match against English club Tottenham, which ended in a 1-1 draw. These performances have put him in strong contention for a place in the first-team squad for Getafe's opening La Liga fixture against Deportivo Alavรฉs on August 15.
