Club career

Complutense was the only club he ever played for until he moved to Belgium to play for Leuven in 2016.[1] In 2018, he switched to another Belgian club Gantoise.[2] After one season with Gantoise, he returned to Complutense.[3] In June 2020 it was announced he left Complutense for the other Madrid based club Club de Campo.[4]

International career

Sánchez made his debut for the senior national team in November 2014 in a test match against Great Britain. Initially, he was not selected for the 2018 World Cup but he replaced Miquel Delas later in the tournament who had to withdrew injured.[5] At the 2019 EuroHockey Championship, he won his first medal with the national team as they finished second.[6]

gollark: Also that.
gollark: Depends what you mean by "communism"?
gollark: The anarchocommunist-or-whatever idea of everyone magically working together for the common good and planning everything perfectly and whatnot also sounds nice but is unachievable.
gollark: I mean, theoretically there are some upsides with central planning, like not having the various problems with dealing with externalities and tragedies of the commons (how do you pluralize that) and competition-y issues of our decentralized market systems, but it also... doesn't actually work very well.
gollark: I do, but that isn't really what "communism" is as much as a nice thing people say it would do.
