The upcoming match between Elche CF and Atlético de Madrid is particularly motivating for an Elche forward. For this player, who came through the Real Madrid academy, the game represents a derby with special significance, as he holds important memories from his previous clashes against the 'Colchoneros'.

One of the most notable moments of his career occurred on February 25, 2023, in a Madrid derby. In that match, Real Madrid was drawing at the Bernabéu, and the coach decided to bring him on in the 77th minute. Although Atlético quickly took the lead, the forward managed to equalize in the 85th minute with a header from a corner kick.

This goal, although it did not secure a derby win, remained etched in his memory. Subsequently, in the 2024-2025 season, he was loaned to Getafe, where he celebrated another collective triumph against Atlético de Madrid on March 9, 2005, in a match that Getafe won 2-1.

His third significant contribution against Atlético came as an Elche CF player in the first-round match of this season, on August 23. In that encounter, the Elche team managed to secure a draw at the 'Colchonero' stronghold, with the forward starting and providing a crucial assist for the equalizer after a great individual play.

This Wednesday, the forward hopes to add a new chapter to his history against Atlético de Madrid. He has already demonstrated his scoring ability this season against teams like Real Madrid and Barça, and now seeks to complete his personal hat-trick and contribute to a valuable collective victory for Elche CF.
