But it does not stop there. The talisman Lozano returned to action less than a month later of that match, when Girona visited the Bernabéu to face the league commitment. In that match he did not score the ‘Choco’, but he did experience what it is to beat Madrid at home (1-2), something that few footballers can boast about. On Saturday he will have another opportunity to put his talismanic power to the test against the whites, yes, this time in the Di Stefano.

However, he is not the only Honduran who scores at the Bernabéu. ‘Macho’ Figueroa did it 34 years before in the 1983-84 season with Murcia, becoming the first natural footballer of Honduras in achieving the feat.
