Club career

Born in Parla, Madrid, Muñoz joined Real Madrid's youth system in 2006, aged 11, after starting it out at local CD Parla Escuela.[1] He finished his formation in 2014, being immediately assigned to the C-team in Tercera División.

Muñoz was called up by the reserves in late September, and made his debut for the side in a 0–3 home loss against SD Amorebieta for the Segunda División B championship.[2] On 1 December he was included in the main squad's 17-man list for a Copa del Rey match against UE Cornellà.[3]

Muñoz played his first match as a professional in the following day, replacing James Rodríguez in the 63rd minute of the 5–0 home success (9–1 on aggregate).[4]
