Real Madrid Castilla is counting down the hours until the start of the second leg of the playoff final for promotion to the Second Division. Eldense waits at home after the draw in the first game, forcing Raúl's men to win or to win. Castilla is having a great season and hoping to be promoted to the Smartbank League, which they have not done it in over ten years.

This could be the last season for some players from the second team of Real Madrid as on June 17 emissaries from up to 9 Bundesliga clubs were present at the Alfredo Di Stéfano stadium in the first leg against Eldense. The objective was to monitor several Castilla players, and the ones who have aroused the most passions and attention have been Álvaro Rodríguez and Sergio Arribas.

There were representatives from Borussia Dortmund, Leipzig, Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayer Leverkusen. Real Madrid could send Arribas and Álvaro to the Bundesliga, the ideal place for youngsters to develop. Dani Carvajal and Achraf Hakimi have already done it in the past, and let's not forget that the German league is one of the leagues with the most young talent out there. It would be a hard blow for Castilla, but everything indicates that this is the last season of Arribas before making the leap to First Division.
