Sergio Yul isn’t just another Real Madrid player. He is one of the greatest icons in the club’s history, and at 38 years old, he’s preparing to continue making history.

About a month ago, the veteran guard extended his contract with the Madrid club for another season, making the upcoming season his 21st consecutive one with the “Queen.” The decision had been made prior to the management changes at the club, confirming that Yul continues to enjoy Real Madrid’s utmost respect, as the club had made it clear that he would leave only when he himself decided to do so.

Although his playing time decreased last season, the Spaniard proved that he can still meet the demands of the highest level. He appeared in a total of 81 matches across all competitions, serving as a consistent member of the rotation and a valuable presence in the locker room.

Now, Real’s new coach, Pedro Martínez, must manage the role of the captain, who is expected to continue offering experience, leadership, and the decisive moments that have made him a legend among the team’s fans.
