No en vano, si los Hierro, Muñoz, Santiesteban, Pirri y compañía forjaron historia con el Real Madrid fue, en gran medida, por sus éxitos por el viejo continente.
Am struggling immensely with the wording of this sentence - here is what I have so far:
If Hierro, Muñoz, Santiesteban, Pirri and co made history with Real Madrid it was, to a large extent, as a result of their success in Europe.
How to incorporate 'no en vano'??
Many thanks!

: Hi Ronnie. If "it" means his dream, you can't place it in the past. He's a young talent currently playing for the club. His dream is yet to come true. Also, this is not the player speaking (see quotation marks), but a remark made by the interviewer. :O)

Hi Lisa,
As with the 'topicazo' question, I wouldn't go too literally on this one because it just doesn't seem to fit nicely in English. More so because this is not even a part of the player's quote, but a remark made by the interviewer.
My suggestion would be to substitute it for something along the lines of:
After all, if Hierro + co made history with R.Madrid it was largely due to their European exploits.
Goodluck!
Álvaro :O) :O)
