Having overcome the initial nerves, it was the boys from Mario del Campo who led the initiative, with Juan Carlos Navarro very attentive to his abilities (technical secretary of the quarry cul since he retired last year).

Madrid accumulated seven Minicopas won consecutively and 35 games without knowing defeat.
