In 2003 he was signed by Real Madrid and lived for several years in the capital, where his third child, Cruz Beckham, was even born at the Ruber International Hospital.
The Botafumeiro restaurant is one of the favorite places of international celebrities when they visit Barcelona. Photographs hang on the walls of the establishment showing visits by Hollywood stars, footballers and members of royalty.
