[4] On his debut for the club's 'Infantil B' side, he scored a hat-trick. [5] During his first years in the academy, he drew attention on social media as clips of his footballing ability were posted by his family. [5] [6] [7] [8]

In the 2018–19 season, Alves scored twenty-four goals, helping Real Madrid's 'Benjamin A' side to the title.

Promoted to the 'Infantil A' side in the 2022–23 season, he notably scored a twenty-minute hat-trick against rivals Atlético Madrid on 11 January 2023 as his side won 5–2. [13] In his first hundred games for the youth teams of Real Madrid, he scored 105 goals, earning praise from Spanish sports newspaper Marca for his goal-scoring ability, being labelled a "scoring machine". [14] [15]

International career

Though both of his parents are Brazilian, he was born in Spain, making him eligible to represent both nations. In April 2023, he chose to represent Spain, having been called up to their under-15 side for the Pinatar Cup.
