The big sensation of the II International Tournament of LaLiga Promises was the appearance of the side 'Todo Bien por Killa', made up of boys from the most populated neighbourhoods of Barranquilla that have made themselves the crowd favourites for the desire and enthusiasm they have shown in every match.

Different from the rest of the teams, who are from the academies of professional clubs in Spain and Colombia, 'Todo Bien por Killa' was born in the street where the kids through football learn the values of effort, respect and discipline to overcome their difficulties in life.

Sponsored by the most loved footballer in all of Colombia, Carlos 'El Pibe' Valderrama, the boys enjoyed an unforgettable experience at the Estadio Metropolitano when they made their debut against Real Madrid. There was a surprise as the score was still 0-0 at half-time. The match eventually ended with a Madrid victory and with the gift of some Real sweatshirts.

But without doubt, the most unexpected was a victory, after a penalty shootout, against Junior  de Barranquilla, the biggest club in the city. A victory that has allowed these kids to keep dreaming.
