In football, two plus two are not always four and what sometimes seems logical, which falls under its own weight, ends up becoming something difficult to explain. If in Zubieta there has been a generation of footballers called to triumph at Real and on whom they had placed great hopes, that was the one in 95. Youth League champions and runners-up in the Champions Cup after losing on penalties to Real Madrid, the spotlights aimed directly at them in the Youth League, where they left a great image after falling in the second round against Shalke 04 of Leroy
Sané.

Odriozola they were the triumphant image of that villa. All six managed to make their debut in the first team, but only the last one, now in Madrid, has managed, for now, to shine in the Real although, like the rest of his littermates, he is not going through his best moment either. The explanations can be multiple, but it is also true that almost all, as if it were a curse, have suffered serious injuries and in decisive moments.
The first to debut with the Real was Eneko
Chapel, which debuted against Levante in May 2015. A few months before, the club had renewed his contract, which expired in 2016, until 2020 in a clear commitment to its conditions.
But in March 2016, playing at the Calderón against Atlético, he suffered a very hard tackle from August
Fernandez which caused a serious injury to his left ankle.
Without the option of playing too much he was loaned to Numancia the following season and then to Cultural Leonesa to finally be transferred in July 2019 to the Greek Asteras Tripolis, where in January 2020 the crusader would be broken.
Doubts about your future
The next to debut was Jon
Baptist, in April 2016 against Villarreal. Months before he had renewed his contract until 2020. He was the expected scorer. 12 goals in 18 games at Sanse had opened the doors to the first team, with which he scored three goals in just 300 minutes. The thing promised. So much so that Athletic maneuvered to sign him, Real reacting with a new renewal in June 2017 that extended their relationship for three more seasons (until 2023) and increased their termination clause to 50 million. Little prominence due to the enormous competition with Willian
Joseph, Isak Y Carlos
Fernandez and a failed assignment to Belgian Eupen have him right now mired in a sea of doubts about his future.
Bautista's goals
After Bautista, in March 2017, he debuted Jon
Guridi against Alavés, but a few days later he seriously injured his right knee. He spent almost a year without playing and, reactivated after a loan at Mirandés, he returned home, where he tries to make a place for himself while he decides whether to renew or if he looks for more minutes in other parts.
Similar situation goes through Martin
Merquelanz, who after two crusader breaks in both knees -the second in August 2018 in Ipurua a few seconds after his debut- and a great year in Miranda has not finished consolidating in the Real. Renovated last summer until 2025, its future is also unclear.
Luca
Sangalli He will take a step back by going down to Sanse to try to be that footballer who fell in love with the fans with that goal in San Mamés. A stroke interrupted his progression despite what was renewed until 2022. But in June 2020 he underwent surgery for an injury to his left knee and in September, when he was running around Zubieta in full recovery, he suffered a transverse stress fracture of the left kneecap. which has kept him inactive all season.
Who would have imagined that fall of 2013 when the 95 boys defeated with a bit of Odriozola to Manchester United from Paul
Scholes.
