With Real Madrid on the verge of a Champions League exit, they needed to find a hero - and got an unlikely one with Joselu sending them to the final.
Joselu made one senior appearance for Real Madrid in both the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons before returning to the Bernabeu for the 2023-24 campaignWith Real Madrid on the verge of a Champions League exit, they needed to find a hero - and they got an unlikely one with Joselu sending them to the final in dramatic circumstances.
Joselu's second was originally ruled out for offside, only for a video assistant referee check to show the Spain international as onside, sparking incredible scenes of celebration and setting up a Wembley final on 1 June with Borussia Dortmund. England midfielder Jude Bellingham hailed his team-mate, saying: "I don’t think he’ll be sleeping much tonight. He deserves it all. He has been an amazing member of the squad throughout the whole season. This is his night."
He only scored four times in 27 games for the Potters in 2015-16 and was then loaned to Deportivo La Coruna for the following campaign, before moving to Newcastle in a £5m transfer.
