On January 20, 2008 the spanish visited the Valladolid on the first day of the second round. He did so as the fourth classified and only three losses to his credit. Pucelanos, the hosts, occupied a comfortable ninth place. An even match is expected, in which luck may fall on one side or the other. In the end he smiled at the locals 2-1.
What is not included in any calculation is that in less than 8 seconds the albivioleta, led by Jose Luis Mendilibar, they would have been on the scoreboard with what would have been the fastest goal in the history of the championship.
But it happened, because the impossible exists to fulfill them. He took Valladolid in the middle and Victor Fernandez sent the ball over long Joseba Llorentewho thoughtlessly ended up under the parrot’s mesh. Ernest Valverde Espanyol coach at the time, he couldn’t believe it. Accurate calculations set the goal at 7.3 seconds into the game. The unseen.
This Sunday, the Pucelanos and Catalans face each other again Valladolida fief traditionally poor for spanish. They will do this 15 years and 44 days after that goal. From little he earned the honor of entering, in his own right, the history of LaLiga.
