Guti might not be the most famous of Real Madrid’s players, but he was a cult hero at the Bernabeu after coming through the club’s youth academy. Indeed, after signing for the club as a 10-year-old in 1986, he left 24 years later to play just a single season away from the Spanish capital.
Like Roberto Carlos, he benefitted from the two-group experiment tested by UEFA around the turn of the millennium, which coincided with a period in which he played in a more advanced role. Consequently, he scored 12 times in a three-year period in Europe, accounting for the vast majority of his tally in 15 years.
He was naturally a playmaker, but Zinedine Zidane’s presence in the team saw him play a deeper role in midfield, with his versatility counting against him in that regard.
