“It’s a formula 1!”. It was one of the comments that were heard in Di Stéfano on April 12. About Victor Muñoz and his first stellar part. After three minutes he had already given the first blow and close to cooking the second. With speed and overflow, its registered trademark. Somewhat that did not arrive and the Atleti B ended up balanceing the duel (1-1 final), until Mario de Luis forced to Take out the layer. But in the factory, the name of the subsidiary derby was the extreme. And on the next day, idem. A car that passed over the recre. Two more to the bag and a double of assists that woke up the smell of Gonzalo. Victor, the ‘Factor X’ of Castilla.

Two performances addressed, for its fifth yellow. Like Jacobo or Pol Fortuny. Without them, the first stumbling of 2025 arrived, with the visit of the leader, the Ceuta, to Valdebebas (0-1). But this Sunday (against Marbella, 18:00) all return, except one Jaco that will sit on the bench of the elderly. AND Vitias they know him, he will seek to continue stretching his streak. The one that has led him to round his scorer figure (10 bars) and shoot their goal passes up to six. In his season of confirmation. Which has placed him on the radar of several first teams (such as Getafe) and some of outside. At 21, he is one of the candidates to make the leap.

First RFEF gold medal in accelerations (35), silver in dribbles in dangerous zone (38, with 31 of them successfully: 81.6%), bronze in total dribbling (104 of 192, 54.2%), eighth in offensive duels won (152) and in touches in the area (97) or tenth in centers successfully (42). A data salad to measure its impact.

The key, the claws that he added to his tireless football. “A toothache, not stop one against one”they describe him from the bowels of Valdebebas. “It’s very electric”they insist. A few aptitudes that are antonyms to your personality. “He is a very quiet boy, a long time ago, who has his life totally professionalized. To other kids of their age, the issue of the diet costs more, Victor follows Rajataba. As your training routine. Take everything to the millimeter”, Radiographed from their surroundings. quid of his explosion. From its evolution to ‘Formula 1 ′ of Castilla.

Your signing

How did it get to Madrid? His football transit has something particular. Or not so much, because it is increasingly common to find talents that have drunk with the teachings of the Masia and Valdebebas. Between 2014 and 2017, Víctor Muñoz was one of the talents of the Barça quarry. He shared formation with bucket, Fermín or Xavi Simons, without going any further. Without the brightness of these in that initial phase, the DAMM, one of the best training clubs on the national scene, touched its door. There he emerged. Four years where their flights, and their goals, caught the attention of many. Espanyol, Levante, Villarreal and even Barça himself came to recover. But the Margarita ran out of petals when the songs appeared from Valdebebas.

“He had several offers, he loved him many, but when Madrid arrived … he decided quickly. Perhaps it is more difficult to take the final step to the first team, but to be able to develop in the factory, with all that this is differential. And because he is a Madridista!”, Recall from the end of the end. A bet with fruits to collect. Youth A, Real Madrid C (still RSC International, where he scored 10 goals) and Castilla. Amen of his appearances with the elderly (an official and an informal call: he traveled to the intercontinental without being on the final list). Victor takes them as prizes, as motivation. It does not allow your imagination to fly at the same speed that your football does by the band. His future is an unknown, but it is aware that he clarifies with performance. Speed, overflow and fang at Raúl service. That is your reality. For the moment ….
