This season has shown that Real Madrid has one of the best youth systems in football. Castilla is in a good position to move up to the second tier of Spanish football, and Alvaro Arbeloa's U19 team has been dominating throughout the season.

Iker Bravo has consistently played for the former's team, but under Raul Gonzalez, his contributions have been unsatisfactory. However, Real Madrid still intend to extend his season-long loan from Bayer Leverkusen.

Bravo is highly regarded by club officials, and should they choose to purchase him permanently, they see him developing into a first team player over the coming few years.

But they have also expressed dissatisfaction with his attitude and professionalism, which they anticipate will change during his second season with the team.

Bravo has suffered this season as a result of Sergio Arribas and Alvaro Rodriguez's outstanding performances, but he will hope to improve next season as he targets a permanent stay with Real Madrid.
