Spanish pre-season tournament saw Cadiz beat Atletico Madrid but the trophy steals the show. The winners must have quite a cabinet to display it.

It is what every footballer dreams off - to win a trophy and to proudly lift it above his head with his teammates celebrating in the background. Well it is less dreamy when footballers set eyes on the trophy that goes to the winners of Ramon de Carranza cup.

Mini-tournament held in Spain for clubs to prepare for the season saw Cadiz defeat favourites Atletico Madrid on penalties which by itself is interesting enough. You can only imagine the trophy when it alone shone over the loss of the La Liga champions.

It must be one of the largest in any sport across the world. The Ramon de Carranza trophy is so huge that it takes at least two players to lift it. It even raises a question of does anyone really want to win this tournament.

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.

Ramon de Carranza Cup has been held since 1955. It was established by Cadiz's city council to honour former mayor Ramon de Carranza. Cadiz's stadium is also named after the same man.

The new La Liga season begins on 13 August while Spanish champions will travel to Vigo to face Celta on the 15th.
