Almost all of you probably know Di Stefano, the Real Madrid legend. But did you know this. Alfredo Di Stéfano, known as the Blond Arrow,arrived in Spain from Argentina in 1953 to play for Barcelona. But the intervention of people in high places ended up turning the matter into a national issue and invalidating the signing. Even the advisory board got involved in the matter, stating that, given the player’s importance, he shouldn’t be given an exclusively Catalan residency, and putting forward the ‘fair’ proposal that the footballer play alternating seasons for Barça and Real Madrid. Luckily for the Whites, it was a solution the Catalan club rejected. A player signed by us but because of some teams and their power in the government, ends up becoming a Real Madrid legend. Bullshit. #AK47
