After winning the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa and the 2011 UEFA Champions League Final, International footballer David Villa - who was born in Tuilla and enjoyed individual success with Sporting de Gijón, Real Zaragoza, Valencia CF, FC Barcelona and Spain - waved a CD Tuilla scarf at the crowd.
However, Solana would be most known for his spell at Real Zaragoza, where he would add one Spanish Cup to his cabinet as well as the memorable 1994–95 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup against Arsenal, appearing in more than 300 overall official matches for the Aragonese.
He made his Arsenal debut on 14 January 1995 and was a regular in his first season, the highlight of which was scoring Arsenal's 75th minute equaliser in the 1995 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup Final against Real Zaragoza; however a last-minute goal from 40 yards by Nayim over David Seaman meant Arsenal lost the game 2–1.
After two years with Real Zaragoza he was still able, at 33, to sign with RCD Mallorca, where he amassed a further 152 top flight appearances, winning another domestic cup and retiring at the end of the 2002–03 season, aged 38; he played in a total of 504 first division games, scoring 12 times.
He scored three goals in the 7–0 aggregate win over Żurrieq in September and October 1986, and another in the 2–2 draw against Real Zaragoza on 5 November.
Modern sports figures born in the city include Milan Hejduk (born 1976), hockey player and former team captain for the Colorado Avalanche; Michal Neuvirth (born 1988), hockey player for the Washington Capitals; and Jiří Jarošík (born 1977), association football player, formerly of Chelsea FC and Celtic FC player, currently of Real Zaragoza.
