What's changed since Las Palmas last hosted Real Madrid?

A lot of water has passed under the bridge since the most recent UD Las Palmas v Real Madrid game. It was October 2001, more than 14 years ago, when the boys from the Bernabeu last travelled to Pio-Pio territory. Players, coaches, backroom staff… a lot has changed in the football world and Spanish society in the intervening period. We recap some of the major differences between the backdrop to this Sunday's match and the occasion when the two teams last met in Gran Canaria, when Las Palmas earned a thrilling 4-2 victory.

Back in 2001, Zinedine Zidane was still at the height of his playing career and was in his maiden season at Real Madrid, having become the latest Galactico signing during the previous summer. What's more, he took centre stage on the pitch, as he scored one of his side's goals. He'll be on the sidelines this time round – more specifically, in the dugout. Almost a decade and a half on, the Frenchman is back in the limelight, heading to Las Palmas just months into his reign as Real Madrid manager.

Back then, three of the biggest and most popular social networks right now, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, didn't even exist.

Borja Mayoral, the Real Madrid academy graduate who has burst on to the scene, was just four years old and was probably still learning to kick a ball the last time Los Blancos were in action in Gran Canaria. A far cry from the current scenario for the young striker, for whom Las Palmas represent special opponents: he made his first-team debut against them earlier in the season.

At the other end of the scale we find one of the most iconic players in Las Palmas history, Juan Carlos Valeron. Now a veteran midfielder who has gone back to his roots to play for his boyhood club, back then he was at the peak of his powers, shining in his second campaign at RC Deportivo.

In 2001, M-Clan's Carolina was blaring out on all the radio stations in Spain. Over 14 years on, Justin Bieber's Sorry is the hit hogging the airwaves.

The Estadio Insular was the place Los Amarillos called home the last time Real Madrid were in town. This ground has since been replaced by the Estadio Gran Canaria, which witnessed its occupants' promotion to the Liga BBVA last term and on Sunday will play host to the 10-time European champions for the very first time.
