elperiodico.com (Spanish)

Real Madrid won the Youth League title, defeating Club Brugge on penalties. This victory comes shortly after the senior team's Champions League elimination with an all-foreign squad. The youth team's win highlights a stark contrast with the senior team's recent performance. Despite producing successful young players, Real Madrid has historically sold them for profit rather than integrating them into the first team. Many players from Real Madrid's 2020 Youth League winning squad have since moved to other clubs, with the club retaining partial rights on some, indicating a business model focused on player sales.
