Raul Gonzalez’s Real Madrid Juvenil A side have secured the club’s first ever UEFA Youth League final place.
Former Los Blancos legend Raul took charge of the Juvenil A team back in June, after managing the club’s Castilla side during the 2019-20 season.
Real Madrid have never reached the final before, following the creation of the underage version of the Champions League in 2013.
However, after navigating through a group containing Club Brugge, Paris Saint-Germain and Galatasary, the knockout stages of the competition were postponed in March.
Raul’s side returned to action this month, beating Serie A pair Juventus and Inter Milan, before a semi-final victory against RB Salzburg, as per the front page of Sunday’s edition of Diario AS.
