Joselu’s time at Real Madrid may have lasted just a single season, but for the Spanish striker, it was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.

After spending the 2023/24 campaign on loan at the Santiago Bernabéu, Joselu achieved what every Madridista aspires to—winning major trophies with the club he loves.

Los Blancos secured both La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, with Joselu playing a crucial role in their success. His most unforgettable moment came in the semi-final against Bayern Munich, where his late brace sent Real Madrid to the Champions League final in dramatic fashion.

“That night against Bayern was amazing,” Joselu recalled in a recent interview. “I don’t know if you can see it through the camera, but it gave me goosebumps.”

His passion for the club runs deep, and lifting silverware with Madrid was the pinnacle of his career.

“I can die peacefully because I wore a Real Madrid shirt and won titles with the club of my life,” he added.

Despite not being a regular starter, Joselu left an undeniable mark on Real Madrid’s historic 2023/24 treble-winning season. His dedication, mentality, and crucial contributions embody what it truly means to be a Madridista.
