Unveiling the Untold Stories of Homegrown Heroes Who Conquered European Cup Finals!
Raúl (Real Madrid vs Valencia & Bayer Leverkusen, 2000 & 2002)
Raúl González came through the youth ranks at Atlético Madrid but moved to rivals Real after the Rojiblancos closed their academy to cut costs.
A couple of years later, the striker made his first-team debut at the age of 17 and he went on to win three Champions League titles with Madrid, scoring in two finals. After running over half the pitch to net a breakaway third goal against Valencia in 2000, Raúl opened the scoring as Madrid beat Bayer Leverkusen two years later as he latched onto a long throw from Roberto Carlos and hit a first-time shot past Hans-Jörg Butt.
