National team
After winning the 1998 UEFA European Under-21 Championship with Spain, Guti made his full debut on 5 May 1999 against Croatia. He missed the 2002 FIFA World Cup due to an ankle injury and it took until the 2002\/03 season for him to win a regular place, when he scored in a 3-1 win against Germany.
Club
The Madrid-born Guti is from the Spanish champions' formidable production line of young talent. He made his senior debut against Sevilla FC in 1995. In 1996\/97 he played in 14 league games as Madrid won the title, and the following term he made his UEFA Champions League bow as part of the squad that claimed the trophy. By 1998\/99, he was a regular fixture in the team as he earned his full international debut, and has remained a regular presence, whether starting or as a substitute. He won another Champions League in 1999\/00, scored 14 league goals the next season as Madrid again won the Primera División, and continued his form in 2001\/02 as Madrid won Europe's premier club prize yet again.
2002\/03: Guti missed only one of Madrid's 16 games on the way to the Champions League semi-finals and played 34 times in their Primera División-winning side. Although unsettled by the arrival of David Beckham, Madrid would demand €40m for Guti's services under his contractual release fee.

Guti has a high-profile private life – he used to go out with transsexual actress Bibi Fernández and was then married to children's television presenter Arancha de Benito although the pair are now separated.","52D34B1F24A26AA271F2BD571AA0152C":"4","55115EEDFFE75225FD0E1787F70FC7CB":"2019-11-5","3316B2DB0B85B0BE":"Jose Maria Gutierrez Hernandez, Guti","71450CE0B6A0CA84C96E1AF31F3CA129":"1976-10-31","826BE2C466376227EC096659909FEBC6":"Besiktas JK,Real Madrid(U19),Real Madrid(U18)","EB70E23140D61D3403104435C4316058":"999","2E0C5ADB6636D43E":"185cm","156AB99B762676230C18DFFD85A3FAED":"","4EFF01CD2A1AA8474DF07D17EF0164A9":"Spain","53F6A06F211D096A":"Almeria","68B71F6A7FE5F18E":"76kg","D21B7B52C3154356":"1","57C2653B331A7DDA71EF0009D79DD15B8B218E4BC397458C":"1","32E266777F4D5C3EAAE5984CDAE82227":"Besiktas JK","0DC344593C67F298":"1352","e_index":4};
