‘He’s an animal’ - Barcelona’s Marc Casado showered with praise after Spain win

Marc Casado has received plenty of plaudits already this season after breaking into the first team at Barcelona and Spain and has been showered with more praise after La Roja’s win over Switzerland on Monday.

The Barcelona midfielder made his first senior start in the 3-2 victory and certainly made a good impression on goalscorer Bryan Zaragoza.

“He’s an animal,” he said after the match. “I don’t even know what to say about how he played. He’s barbaric.”

And then it was over to Spain boss Luis de la Fuente to wax lyrical about Casado yet again.
