Nico Melamed reaches 100 appearances
The academy product becomes the first men's player born after 2000 to reach the milestone
Nico Melamed has reached 100 first-team appearances for RCD Espanyol.
The academy product has become the first player born in the 21st century to achieve the landmark and become a centurion for the Club. The 21-year-old played his 100th match in the blanquiazul shirt in the LaLiga match against Celta de Vigo on Saturday.
Melamed made his debut in a Europa League qualifier against FC Luzern in 2019, when David Gallego was coach. Since then, he has made 57 appearances in LaLiga, 33 in the Second Division, 9 in the Copa del Rey and the one aforementioned in the Europa League.
Melamed is the 150th player in the history of Espanyol to reach the milestone, and the latest made in the Dani Jarque to become an Espanyol centurion.
Congratulations, Nico!
