Real Madrid's one-club man Nacho has underlined his commitment to the Liga giants, as he reflects on a breakthrough year with both club and country.
The 28-year-old defender is almost unique amongst his team-mates in never having left the Santiago Bernabeu.
While fellow academy graduates such as Dani Carvajal, Lucas Vazquez and Borja Mayoral have all spent time away from the club in their bid to gain first-team minutes, Nacho remained even as the likes of Sergio Ramos and Pepe monopolised the centre of defence.
Now, with Pepe gone and playing a much bigger role in the first team, the centre-back is delighted to be leaving his mark with the Merengue.
