All eyes were on the pitch for Real Madrid's friendly at Bayern Munich on Friday night, but Blancos' sporting director Jorge Valdano spent the evening busily chasing Werder Bremen starlet Mesut Oezil.
The young Germany international impressed during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, with a host of European clubs - not least Madrid - now chasing his signature.
Indeed, Valdano told the microphones of ZDF during half-time in Munich that Madrid's interest in Oezil was now a serious matter.
I guess this kid stays in Bremen for another year. Time is running out.
