Carlos Espí stars as Spain U21 thrash San Marino

Spain Under-21 claimed a dominant win over San Marino, with Carlos Espí playing a prominent part in the result. The performance puts the Levante UD centre-forward in focus at international youth level and adds to his growing profile with Spain’s Under-21 side.

The available match details do not include the final score or Espí’s individual goal contribution. They do establish the result as a heavy Spain victory. No league-table position, tournament ranking or form sequence is supplied, so the wider standings impact cannot be assessed from the confirmed information.

Espí, 21, is a Spanish centre-forward contracted to Levante UD. His listed market value is €20 million. He developed through the club’s system after moving from Alzira Under-19 to Levante Under-19 in the 2022-23 season. He then progressed to Atlético Levante for 2023-24 before joining Levante’s senior structure in 2024-25.

The striker’s player record also includes a muscle tear among his injury history. His latest appearance for Spain Under-21 came against San Marino, where he was part of an emphatic result for the team. The match gives Espí another international reference point while he continues his development with Levante.
