|  COMMENT A cold and sound keeper, come after Fabio Capello's advice, he won from the first day his presence in the first eleven, fought in a nice concurrence with Santiago Cańizares
 
  WHAT I LIKE THE MOST ABOUT HIM His good, calm  performances have been worth many points for Real Madrid
 
 
 WHAT I LIKE THE LESS ABOUT HIM If the goal's crossbar falls one day, he's not very kind to come safe out of it, since he rarely leaves the goal line.
  A CURIOUS FACT Fabio Capello forced a quick deal with Köln to bring Illgner to Madrid, since he disliked Real's keepers. With the deal closed, the german President said: "For us, it is like losing Köln's cathedral"
  HIS HOTTEST MOMENT He became Real's second keeper in 97, and he came from the bench to re-gain his position and win the 98 Amsterdam CL final game.
