My Take
Luis del Sol earns my deep admiration. A midfielder from Arcos de Jalón in Soria, he reached the very summit of football, anchoring Real Madrid's golden era and earning multiple Ballon d'Or nods across 112 La Liga games. Standing just 1.72 m, he proved that craft and tenacity outweigh stature. What moves me most is the full arc: two World Cups for Spain, then a return to old club Betis as manager, repaying the place that raised him. He passed in 2021, but a life that climbed from Castile to the European elite on sheer footballing intelligence deserves to be remembered with genuine warmth.
