Sporting star in career-best form, Gyokeres: Come on, brother | OneFootball

Iván Fresneda achieved one of the biggest goals of his career by making his debut for Spain’s senior national team. The Sporting right-back started in the 3-1 win over the Czech Republic in the Nations League, and did not hide his happiness at achieving what he described as a “childhood dream.”

“Yesterday I fulfilled my childhood dream of being able to play for the Spanish national team. It was a long road to get here: from Quijorna, through Boadilla, Valdebebas, Leganés, Valladolid and Lisbon. A huge thank you to my family for their unconditional support and to everyone who helped make this journey easier. This day will forever be etched in my memory. Now it’s time to keep working so I can continue representing the national team in the future,” he wrote.

The performance did not go unnoticed by his teammates at Alvalade. Rodrigo Zalazar, Zeno Debast, Jesse Derry and Maxi Araújo made sure to congratulate the Spanish international, with the Uruguayan leaving a particularly glowing message: “You’re a monster.” Fresneda thus received recognition from his teammates after taking another important step in his career.

The “celebration” also reached former teammates. Viktor Gyokeres, who shared a dressing room with Fresneda during their time at Sporting between 2023 and 2025, also reacted to the defender’s debut for the Spanish national team. The Arsenal striker left a short but clear message: “Let’s go, brother.”
