This caused Ekelund disputed that season in the subsidiary culé.

However, He even made the preseason summer 93 with the Barcelona first team although his contribution to Dream Team Cruyff It was just over half an hour in a match played in Santander in which he replaced the legendary José Mari Bakero.. The rest of his playing the legendary team of Cruyff had to live as a spectator.
