Muñoz was part of the Spain squad that won the World Cup this summer but was unable to take part in the tournament due to injury. He is now competing with Lamine Yamal for a place in the Spain team. The 22-year-old Muñoz has made five Premier League appearances for Liverpool so far this season, scoring once.

Muñoz has noticed the difference in intensity between LaLiga and the Premier League, saying "LaLiga is a lot more tactical. The Premier League games are more physical. The intensity in training there is very high, you notice that difference. It's helping me grow." He is now back with the national team for this international break, featuring as a substitute against Croatia on Tuesday.
