However, upon arriving at the Spanish club, he faces problems with the team's coach, who relegates him to team B. There, Tsubasa stood out scoring goals and providing assists.
Until the star of the main team, Rivaul (or Rivaldo) gets injured and the young Japanese is selected for the classic against Real Madrid.

The final episode of this part of the saga ends precisely with the referee blowing the whistle for the start of the dispute and the final result of the game is not known.
The images portrayed simulate elements of that year's World Cup, a match in Korea and Japan - such as the ball made for the competition and the players' boots.
For those who are attached to superstitions, Brazil became champion in 2002, beating Germany in the final.
In real life, Brazil and Japan faced each other once in the World Cup. It was in 2006, in the first phase of the competition. The Brazilian team won 4-1.
