According to Teamtalk United scouts have been busy taking notes on Portillo
[any relation to Michael?] as he 'starred in Real B's 3-1 win against Almeria on Saturday in the play-offs for promotion to La Segunda.

The 20-year-old striker is considered to be the cream of Real's youth team
programme, having averaged more than 100 goals in each of his seven
seasons with The Merengues.'
