Moroccan prospect Thiago Pitarch draws inspiration from Real Madrid legend Guti
Rising Moroccan talent Thiago Pitarch is enjoying an impressive run with the youth setup at Real Madrid, where his recent performances have cemented his place as a regular starter under coach Álvaro Arbeloa.
Pitarch has been given the chance to showcase his abilities as a potential future first-team player, and the young midfielder has taken the opportunity with both hands. His consistent displays have not only strengthened his position in the team but have also increased excitement around his development within the club.
Spanish newspaper AS reports that the Moroccan youngster looks up to Guti, the former Real Madrid midfield maestro, as a source of inspiration as he pursues success with Los Blancos.
The two recently crossed paths during a match involving Real Madrid and Manchester City F.C., where they shared a warm embrace on the pitch. Pitarch later shared a photo of the moment on social media, captioning it simply “Legend” alongside a white heart.
Guti also expressed admiration for the young player’s development. Writing on Instagram, the former Madrid star praised the club’s emerging talents and singled out Pitarch for recognition.
“Proud of Real Madrid’s youth players, especially Thiago,” he wrote, adding a white heart and a clapping emoji.
Pitarch responded once again by referring to the former midfielder as a “legend,” this time adding a magic wand emoji to the message, highlighting the admiration he holds for the iconic Real Madrid figure.
