Joselu’s tweet about Real Madrid from 2012 resurfaces after Champions League heroics

Joselu was the hero for Real Madrid as they knocked Bayern Munich out of the Champions League

Joselu’s tweet about Real Madrid from 2012 has re-emerged following his standout performance in the Champions League.

During Wednesday night’s match, Real Madrid, the 14-time Champions League winners, hosted Bayern Munich for the second leg of their semi-final encounter. Alphonso Davies’s impressive right-footed strike put Bayern ahead in the 68th minute, but Thomas Tuchel’s side was left stunned by two late goals in the dying moments of the game.

Joselu, who came on as a substitute in the second half, made a significant impact by scoring in the 88th and 91st minutes, securing a remarkable comeback victory for Los Blancos.

Following the match, a tweet from Joselu dating back to 2012 resurfaced, gaining attention once again.

It read in Spanish: “Alguien me puede dar un link bueno para ver el Madrid?” which translates to “Can someone give me a good link to watch Madrid?”

The 34-year-old also attended the 2022 Champions League final in Paris, witnessing Madrid’s 1-0 victory over Liverpool to secure their 14th European crown.

Before his move to Madrid, Joselu was labeled a Premier League disappointment, having scored only four goals in 27 matches for Stoke City and seven in 52 appearances for Newcastle United.

Following his departure from Newcastle, Joselu had stints at Alaves and Espanyol before joining Madrid on loan for the 2023/24 season.

Since joining Madrid, the Spanish striker has netted 17 goals in 46 matches under the management of Carlo Ancelotti.

Speaking after the match, Ancelotti said: “It happened again here, it’s quite useful that in the Bernabeu, with the support of our supporters, we can do something unexpected.

“Joselu did a fantastic job, he’s a fantastic striker. We could use the wings more to put in crosses and we did really well, we had a lot of energy at the end of the game.”

Meanwhile, teammate Jude Bellingham said: “I’ve always said it doesn’t matter who scores the goals. I don’t think he’ll be sleeping much tonight – he’ll be useless in training tomorrow!

“Nah, honestly, he deserves it. He’s been an amazing member of the squad the whole season. This is his night.”
