The 18-year-old star shines at Biba! Spanish midfielder Selton made his Champions League and La Liga debut within a week

November 11 News Recently, Bilbao young player Selton completed his debut in the Champions League and La Liga within a week. In this regard, "Marca" wrote an article about this 18-year-old Spanish star.

Selton emerged in Biba's team. He broke into the first team at an astonishing speed. The appearance of this young player made fans full of expectations. On the pitch he is skilful and confident, and this week has been particularly impressive: he made his debut as a substitute in the Champions League against Newcastle before making his first start against Oviedo and showing off his ability to dribble, pass and save.

Teammate Dergaraleta praised: "His fearlessness when holding the ball is helpful to all of us." Head coach Valverde also said: "His skills are impressive, but he is not just a flashy performer. He actively participates in the game, does not shy away from challenges, and works hard. Although he is only 18 years old, he has been able to control the rhythm of the game well."

Selton is not a temporary choice, he will stay in the team for a long time. The club is developing a muscle and strength training program for him so that he can remain competitive in the top flight. Although he looked a little thin on the outside, he performed very bravely during the game. Last weekend, he forced his opponent to receive a yellow card for three presses.

Selton was born in the Basque Country. His father is Basque and his mother is Brazilian. He joined Bilbao’s youth training system since he was a child. In fact, even if the player is not Basque, Bilbao has its own rules that allow players who grew up or trained in the Basque Country to join the team. It is reported that Selden will choose to represent the Spanish team.

Selden had attracted the attention of the coaching staff before the season, but due to previous injury problems, the club carefully adjusted his training volume. He started the season with the second team and had a number of outstanding performances in the youth league. On October 7, he began training with the first team and quickly got the opportunity. Sansett's injury accelerated Seldon's rise. He first entered the derby squad, then appeared in the Champions League and made his first league start against Oviedo.

Selden's future is undoubtedly bright and the club is considering how best to develop him. For now, he will continue to train under the guidance of Valverde. Due to his age and form, he can rotate between the first and second teams, and the club will decide at the end of 2025 where he should develop for the rest of the season. Selden is under contract until 2026, but given his potential, future negotiations will go beyond what would normally be expected of a young player.
