August 1989, Lluís Sitjar Stadium, Palma. This was the exact place and time when Barça's directors realized they had to sign Hristo Stoichkov. Several years ago, the Ciutat de Palma Tournament was always organized as part of the preseason, a typical summer championship that serves as a warm-up for the start of the season, to showcase new signings to the fans, and, in this case, to discover new ones. "Before, we organized a tournament in Mallorca that included Barça or Real Madrid, Mallorca, and two teams from outside the island," recounts Josep Maria Minguella, the man who discovered Hristo Stoichkov and, in those years, a football agent. In that edition, the invited teams were Fortuna Düsseldorf and CSKA Sofia, the team of the famous Bulgarian striker. Barça and CSKA faced each other in the first "semifinal."
