Javi Rodríguez won't forget June 4, 2026. The young player had the opportunity to make his debut in the match played by the Spanish national team in Riazor against Iraq, where also Borja Iglesias played as a starter and would be substituted in the second half. The Celta Vigo right-back was one of the nine players called up by Luis de la Fuente to help during the Spanish national team's concentration in Las Rozas, and today many of them have had the opportunity to live their first experience with the team. Javi Rodríguez entered the field in the 72nd minute in place of Pedro Porro, playing as a right-back. He becomes the first player from the 2003 generation of the Celta Vigo youth team to become an absolute international. Another milestone for a player who never had it easy and who tonight put the icing on the cake of his second season as a professional. The match ended with a 2-0 score in favor of the Spanish national team. Javi Rodríguez played a great game and earned the respect of the fans. The Spanish national team continues on its way to qualifying for the next World Cup. Javi Rodríguez is a player with great potential and his debut with the Spanish national team is a great achievement for him and for Celta Vigo.
