Historic Goals: Hugo Sánchez

This week, in Historic Goals, the focus is on Hugo Sánchez. The Mexican joined Real Madrid from Atlético in the summer of 1985 after winning the Pichichi Trophy. With Real Madrid, he showcased his superb leap and finishing ability, scoring a host of goals with his first touch.

In the 1985/86 season, Real Madrid visited Celta Vigo in round 32 of LaLiga. We look back on Real Madrid's third goal in a match that ended in a 5-1 win for the Whites. Hugo Sánchez's free-kick from the edge of the area sailed into the top corner, completing his brace in this match. Hugo Sánchez spent 7 seasons with Real Madrid, making 282 appearances and scoring 208 goals. The Mexican forward won 10 titles: 1 UEFA Cup, 5 LaLiga titles, 1 Copa del Rey and 3 Spanish Super Cups.
