It’s the iconic photo, a football team captain surrounded by team-mates
as he holds aloft the cup they have just won high above his head, clasped
in two hands and being shaken wildly.
That is, unless you happen to win the Ramon de Carranza trophy as
Cadiz just did.
Social media lit up at the Spanish side’s penalty shoot-out victory
over  LaLiga  champions  Atletico Madrid  in one of the country’s most
illustrious pre-season tournaments, but not because of Cadiz’s
performance.
Instead the size of the trophy stole the show, for it must be one of the
largest in any sport across the world. The Ramon de Carranza trophy is
so huge that it took at least two Cadiz players to lift it in celebration.
The match itself saw Yannick Carrasco put Atletico ahead after 41
minutes, only for Cadiz’s Alberto Perea to equalise in the final few
minutes. Cadiz then beat Atletico 4-2 on penalties.
