The arrival of Jenry Hernández to the white club is not an isolated event, but rather adds to a rich history of Cuban footballers who have been part of Real Madrid. At the beginning of the 20th century, the brothers Mario, José and Armando Giralt, together with Antonio Sánchez Neyra, were pioneers in integrating the first Madrid team.
During the 1910s, Fernando López Bourbon, a native of Cárdenas, also wore the white shirt. Later, players like Enrique Ferrer and Mario Inchausti had brief spells at the club. Chus Alonso stood out in the middle of the last century, leaving an indelible mark on Madrid history.
