🎬 The White Lion

Episode 1 – "The Birth of Greatness"

📍 Valencia, Spain — April 23, 2001

In a small hospital room, a healthy baby boy is born to Javier and Isabella Ramírez.

👶 "He shall be called... Héctor."

A baby whose eyes sparkled like a storm. The nurse smiled.

“He looks like he’s ready to chase a ball already.”

From his earliest steps, one thing was clear:

⚽ Héctor Ramírez was born for football.

🧒🏼 Age 3 – Espanyol Youth Academy

While most kids played with toys, Héctor begged for boots.

He joined Espanyol’s academy, training with boys twice his size — but already showing talent far beyond his age.

🗣️ “He reads the game like a teenager,” said one coach.

🗣️ “That’s not normal.”

📅 2009 – Espanyol U-9 vs Real Madrid U-9

🏟️ Youth Friendly Tournament Final – Valencia

Scoreline: Espanyol 7 – 3 Real Madrid

And who was behind every goal?

💥 4 goals

🎯 3 assists

⚡ Every single goal contribution = Héctor Ramírez

He danced past defenders like wind through trees. At just 8 years old, he played like a boy possessed.

🎙️ “He might be the next Messi and Ronaldo... combined,” said Real Madrid scout Luka Mendoza.

🤝 Scouting Deal Begins

Luka storms into the Real Madrid boardroom.

🗣️ “Florentino Pérez, we’ve found the future of football.”

🗣️ “His name is Héctor Ramírez — 4 goals, 3 assists. He destroyed our academy.”

💼 Pérez slams the table:

“Sign him NOW. Before Barcelona touches him!”

Luka rushes to Héctor’s home in Valencia...

🔔 Knock Knock

Javier opens the door.

🧔 “What are you doing here?”

🧑 Luka bows slightly. “I bring no harm. I’m here... to offer your son a dream.”

Isabella appears.

🧕 “What’s going on?”

👨‍👩‍👦 They call Héctor down.

🧑 Luka kneels and says:

“Real Madrid wants you. We’ll give you a scholarship, housing, food, and a future.”

😳 Young Héctor blinks. “For real?”

🧑 Luka smiles. “Yes, for real.”

🦁 “Then... I say yes, Mr. Luka.”

⏩ Years Later – 2016

Héctor is now 15 years old.

🔥 He’s training alone at Valdebebas, firing shot after shot at the goal.

🧔 A voice calls out: “Héctor.”

🧑‍🦲 Zidane enters.

🗣️ “You’re starting the La Liga opening game against Sevilla.”

😲 “S-seriously?”

🧑‍🦲 Zidane nods.

🗣️ “It’s time. You’ve earned it.”

Héctor clutches his chest and breathes deeply.

He chooses:

🎽 Number 11

📍 Position: CAM (Central Attacking Midfielder)

👑 Meeting the Legends

Inside the Madrid dressing room:

🧔 Cristiano Ronaldo: “You must be the kid. How old?”

🧒 “15, sir.”

🤝 Ronaldo smiles:

“Then go out there and play like it.”

🧔‍♂️ Marcelo: “Little recruit, eh?”

🦁 “Name’s Héctor.”

⚔️ Pepe: “He’s just a cub.”

🧱 Sergio Ramos: “That cub will become a lion one day.”
