The Costa Rica winger recalled on local radio: "It's crazy. Before I played FIFA with them and now I sit down to eat with them at the same table. It seems that I am inside the video game.

"Real Madrid is the best club in the world and it is difficult, of course, but being there also opens many doors for you."

On his initial move, De Leon also said: "I was in Castellón for a while and there they saw me and signed me. I don't know if it was a specific game, they have a lot of scouts so I guess they had been following me all season."
