His name became associated with the Los Galácticos policy when Real Madrid – where he spent most of his professional career – president Florentino Pérez promised to build a team full of Zidanes and Pavones – expensive high-profile recruits like Zinedine Zidane and youth team graduates like Pavón.[2][3]
Over nine seasons, Pavón amassed La Liga totals of 125 matches and three goals, with his main club and Zaragoza.
