They were homaging an Atlético youth team for winning the league and Jesús Gil - then Atlético's prez - singles out Raúl as the best player in the team, with 55 goals scored.

 

The following season, Gil disbanded Atlético's youth setup citing financial concerns and Raúl joined Real Madrid.

Youth player? Arteta and Alba come to mind, although we rebought the latter. We sold Reina, too, but he had already played for the senior team.

 

Most great players, like Fàbregas or Piqué, we didn't let go willingly. There used to be a loophole that allowed English clubs to offer professional contracts to Spanish players one year before their clubs could. It wasn't closed until last season.

 

Speaking of Reina, this gets me to another photo:

I didn't realise that Arteta had been at Barca. Hmm.
