Spain ended up losing out narrowly in the final to Brazil, but this could take nothing from the fact that the young Catalan had been the star of the show, eclipsing, among others, the much vaunted US wunderkind Freddie Adu. Though denied a winner’s medal, Cesc left Finland weighed down by the Golden Ball – awarded to the player of the tournament – along with the Golden Shoe, as the top scorer. Fitting prizes for a player who, according to Spain’s coach, Luis Aragones, “is a kid who will write golden pages in the history of football’s future,” and who U-21 coach Inaki Saez describes as “Spanish football’s brightest hope
