Remember when Julio Baptista was just an after thought?  The Brazilian had been bought from Sevilla, size and strength included with the Samba touch, only to be loaned to Arsenal’s Reserves.  Now back at Real Madrid and under new coach Bernd Schuster, Baptista has found new glory sitting underneath Ruud and Raul.  Scoring the winner against Barcelona was great, but there’s more to this man than meets the eye.
