Chile has a certain relationship with Joseluthe attacker of the real Madrid who scored a historic double that served to turn the match against the Bayern Munich. When it seemed that the Merengue team was saying goodbye to the Champions League, the “14” appeared: first he took advantage of a gross mistake by Manuel Neuer.
And then, a precise center from the German Antonio Rüdiger to declare the final 2-1 in favor of the White House. This is how he won his ticket to play the final for Orejona against the Borussia Dortmund. As the 34-year-old Spanish attacker said, it was a dream night. “Destiny had it in store for me”commented in the mixed zone of the Santiago Bernabéu stadium.
But many years before, also wearing the Madrid shirt, Joselu scored a double against a Chilean club: it was in 2010, when Everton de Viña del Mar They faced Real Madrid Castilla in a preseason friendly, the fourth for the Hispanic team. Regular time ended with a 2-2 tie. And everything was decided in favor of the Ruleteros through penalty kicks.
Cesar Cortes and the Uruguayan-Armenian Mauro Guevgeozian They scored for the Viñamarino team, while Joselu converted the two conquests of the Merengues subsidiary team. For almost four years, in one of the clubs that the attacker defended in the German Bundesliga, he was a teammate of a Chilean American champion with the Red.
Chile appears in the memory of Joselu, the unexpected hero of Real Madrid in the Champions League
In the 2014-2015 season, Chile appeared again on Joselu’s horizon, who with his double led Real Madrid to the grand final of the Champions League. It was at Hannover 96, one of the three German clubs that the attacker has on his resume.
There he met the Chilean-Swede Miiko Albornoz, with whom he shared on the pitch for 25 matches, according to information from Transfermarkt. That campaign, Joselu ended with eight goals marked in the Bundesliga. None were against the Bavarian Giant.
Years later, he had another Chilean teammate who is still in the Chilean team: Guillermo Maripan, with whom he played only one match at Deportivo Alavés. It was in the 2019-2020 campaign, although at that time the Memo was finalizing his signing at AS Monaco in France, a team where he currently plays.
Because Joselu also has Chilean memories, although we had to go back in time to find them. For the moment, the striker’s sights are focused on the grand final of the Champions League, since Real Madrid has already secured the title in the Spanish League.
