EI Madrid will not feel strange in Valdebebas. Nine of the 25 men from Zidane have experience at Di Stéfano after his time at Castilla, to which must be added the game in which Ramos played and scored at the inauguration of the stadium. In total, they accumulate 185 matches in which it will be temporarily their home. It will look familiar …
NACHO 56 games
The oldest in the subsidiary. He played in Valdebebas from 2008 to 2013, when Mourinho definitely promoted him to the first team (he debuted at Mestalla with a great win against Valencia at the age of 23). It will be low due to muscle injury.
LUCAS VÁZQUEZ 45
He played in the filial from the 2010-11 season to the 2013-14 season. He lived through the promotion to Second of that Castilla that in 2012 eliminated Cádiz, playing alongside Morata, Jesé, Joselu, Cheryshev, Nacho, Álex, Carvajal… At 23 he left on loan to Espanyol and the following season he returned to Madrid to stay .
CARVAJAL 34
From 2010 to 2012 he had two plethoric courses with the subsidiary (including the promotion from Second B to Second), until his successful adventure in the Bundesliga began at Bayern Leverkusen, entering the ideal eleven. In 2013 he returned to Madrid in triumph, and until today …
MARIANO 21
The one from Premiá de Mar fired from 2012 to 2014 at Madrid C (now disappeared) and from 2014 to 2016 he left his mark on Di Stéfano with 18 goals. In Lyon he triumphed with 21 goals.
FEDE VALVERDE 15
He arrived in Madrid at 17 years old, from Peñarol, with some magnificent references. His good year at Castilla earned him a loan to Deportivo and internationality with Uruguay. He has been at full throttle for two seasons.
CASEMIRO 8
It arrived in January 2013 (for just 5.5 million euros!), Coming from Sao Paulo. Six months at Castilla were enough to show that he was a big player, as he confirmed a season later on his loan to Porto de Lopetegui. An untouchable headline.
VINICIUS 3
Lopetegui opted for him to play at the beginning of 2018-19 at Castilla, with great performance (4 goals and one assist). He left a double in the Atlético field in the branch derby. But before he debuted at Di Stéfano against Las Palmas Atlético.
RODRYGO 3
He was always a first-team player (as he showed with his hat-trick to Galatasaray in the Champions League), but Zidane preferred that he played with the subsidiary in three consecutive weekends so that he did not lose competition rhythm.
REINIER 2
The recent signing of Flamengo (30 million) played with Castilla against San Sebastián de los Reyes (heel assist) and Coruxo, with a goalscoring double included. You will not be able to play due to your non-community status.
SERGIO RAMOS 1
The current captain played at the opening of Di Stéfano (9-5-2006), being the author of the first goal against Stade de Reims (the game ended 6-1). The Sevillian was then only 20 years old.
