This year's edition of the La Liga FC Futures tournament, which serves as a sort of U-12 Club World Cup and takes place in Brunete, features young talents with illustrious surnames from the football world, including Martín Casillas Carbonero, Ethan Balboa Rodríguez, and Sami Maldonado Schuster, respectively the son of Iker Casillas, son of Javier Balboa, and grandson of Bernd Schuster. This Wednesday, Real Madrid thrashed the Moroccans of Wydad with Ethan Balboa, son of the former Benfica and Real Madrid player, shining with a brace. The young player, only 11 years old, opened the scoring with a good piece of footwork, finishing with his right foot into the back of the net. Ethan would soon be in the spotlight again, taking full advantage of a mistake by Wydad. GOAAAL Ethan Balboa! 🅰️ Daniel de Ibar.

In four U-12 matches, not counting the La Liga FC Futures tournament, the son of the former Benfica and Real Madrid player scored 10 goals. For example, he netted five against Rayo Majadahonda and a hat trick against Rayo Ciudad Alcobendas. His father, Javier Balboa, had discreet stints at Real Madrid and Benfica. At the Madrid club, where he was trained, he made 15 appearances for the first team and scored two goals. At Benfica, he played 17 matches and provided two assists. In Portugal, Javier Balboa also wore the jerseys of Beira-Mar (54 games, nine goals, and seven assists) and Estoril (55 games, six goals, and three assists). Ethan Balboa is following in his father's footsteps in the youth ranks of the whites, and his numbers suggest he may achieve success at Real Madrid that his father did not.
