    Anderson Oliveira: It Was All A Blur
    Jun 13 2020
    His goalscoring record in the Real Madrid youth teams eclipsed that of the great Raul Gonzalez; making Javier Portillo the most celebrated wonderkid in Spain at the start of the millennium. Breaking into the Real Madrid team of the Galactico era proved even more impressive.
