The child who was about to be stillborn grew up and stood tall as the goalkeeper representing Spain. Canizares grew up on the Real Youth team and played more than 600 games as a member of prestigious Spanish clubs such as Real Madrid, Celtivigo and Valencia.

Real Madrid won the Spanish Premier League in the 1994-1995 and 1996-1997 seasons, winning the European Champions League in the 1997-1998 season. He also had a unique history of winning La Liga twice in Valencia. In the 2003–2004 season, he also won the UEFA Cup.




From 1993 to 2006, he played 46 A matches for Spain. He was also certain to participate in the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, but he was excluded from the entry due to an accidental injury in which a water bottle fell on his foot ahead of the tournament.

Meanwhile, Canizares, who is from Real, said of Real's recent slump "When Real is in good condition, the shortcomings are less noticeable. The team was in good condition last season, but it showed weakness in the build-up. The problem now is that he is not in good condition, either individually or as a team."

Real lost 1-2 at home in the second leg of the European Champions League quarterfinals against Arsenal on the 17th, suffering a total of 1-5 elimination.




As of the 33rd round of La Liga, it is in second place with 72 points, four points behind the leader Barcelona (76 points).
