Raul's return is making me nostalgic, so here's a disjointed look at the season Raul made his debut.

Until I was around ten years old La Liga was something I watched a few times a season and Real Madrid a team I'd only ever watched when they played a big game in Europe (e.g. that game against Sacchi's Milan. Though I was just a kid so I remember my dad's reactions as much as anything. Ouch.) or against Barcelona, and all my hopes and dreams were pinned on Brøndby's exploits in the UEFA Cup. But then Michael Laudrup fell out with Johan Cruyff, watched from the stands as Barcelona's Dream Team lost the 1994 European Cup final 4-0 to Capello's Milan and decided that Real Madrid was the place to be ( ... )

But this was still Madrid so of course they found a way to make life difficult. They lost the lead in the league to Zaragoza and in December they went into a return match in the UEFA Cup against Danish minnows OB, brimming with confidence and arrogance. And promptly lost 0-2 at home in the Bernabeu and was out of the UEFA Cup before Christmas. OB's keeper, Lars Høgh, had been in goal that night in 1986 when Butra scored four and sent the best ever Danish team home from Mexico, but in the Bernabeu he had the game of a lifetime. I think it took a few days before Laudrup spoke to him again tbh. Then Michel got a knee injury, which was the beginning of the end for him, and things began to look a little shaky. At least Barca was having a lot of trouble adjusting to life without Laudrup and was in shambles ( ... )
