Hércules returned to the main category with an entourage of stellar acquisitions, including the Franco-Argentine David Trezeguet, the Dutchman Royston Drenthe or the Paraguayan Nelson Haedo Valdéz.
And it was precisely the Guarani who stole that day.
Pairing up with Trezeguet in attack, the ‘León Guaraní’ beat goalkeeper Víctor Valdéz’s resistance on two occasions and led the Alicante team to a resounding, almost impossible victory.
The first goal came after a rather rough play, Drenthe put the ball into the area and after a multiple collision the ball was left to the red-and-white, who did not forgive. And the second goal was applauded by locals and strangers. With a beautiful dry blow to the upper right corner, he resolved Tiago Gomes’s pass before a Víctor Valdez who flew for the photo.
The 79,300 spectators could not believe their eyes. Josep Guardiola’s almighty Barcelona ended 16 months of being undefeated at home and gave up all three points for the first time against the newly promoted team.
There was no other blow of this caliber. Since then, Barça devoured the debutants. September 11 is a stain that is still latent, and Haedo signed it.
A day like today, but from 2010, Nelson Haedo Valdez silenced the Camp Nou, scoring a brace against Barcelona. ??⚽️
