Girona beat Real Madrid 4-2 on Tuesday with an extraordinary performance from the Argentinian forward
Valentin Mariano Castellanos, better known as Taty Castellanos, made history as he scored all four of Girona’s goals in their 4-2 victory over Real Madrid.
Taty scored in the 12th, 24th, 46th and 62nd minute of Girona‘s Matchday 31 LaLiga Santander tie against the Madrid titans before departing the field for Christian Stuani in the 72nd minute.
What record has Taty Castellanos set against Real Madrid?
Castellanos has become the first Argentinian player to score four goals against the Blancos in a LaLiga Santander match.
Even Lionel Messi, arguably the best player the game has ever seen, never managed to score four goals against his former team’s arch-rivals Real Madrid.
Taty also added his name to the exclusive list of players who have scored a hat-trick against Real Madrid.
Robert Lewandowski was the last to do so during the 2013 UEFA Champions League semi-final when the Pole was playing at Borussia Dortmund in Germany.
Castellanos also became the fifth player to score four home goals against Real Madrid with the others being Vantolra (Barcelona 5 – Real Madrid 0, 1934-35), Martinez (Espanyol 5 – Real Madrid 4, 1930-40), Emilin (Oviedo 4 – Real Madrid 0, 1944-45) and Echevarria (Oviedo 7 – Real Madrid 1, 1947-48).
Who is Taty Castellanos?
Born in Mendoza, Argentina, the striker arrived in Girona last summer for the 2022/23 season in what has been his first adventure in Europe after his time in Major League Soccer with New York City FC.
