Some weeks after debuting with the first team of the FC Barcelona, José Arnáiz went back to live a big night in the Glass of Rey, in which perhaps only was missing him a victory to round another performance for the memory. The forward turned into the pichichi Barcelona in the competition, equalising in passing several historical registers in the club.
Because the one who annotated in Balaídos was his third goal in three parties, the one who more in the staff and the only from does long. Specifically, anybody had attained a so remarkable première as his since it did it Ludovic Giuly 13 years ago, with the same number of targets in his first three official commitments.
But the register takes more importance in relation to the Glass, since it did 25 years that anybody marked in the three first meetings of the tournament. Before it was more given to rotations and rests, went Julio Saltworks the one who repeated the same feat that yesterday attained Arnáiz (in the campaign 1992-93).
Successor of Leo Messi
Another data circunstancial that will aim José Arnáiz for all the life is that it attained to annotate the first goal of 2018, something that puts him in an extensive catalogue of illustrate in the recent past of the Catalan group. The toledano sucede neither more neither less than to Leo Messi (2016 and 2017), and plants beside Neymar (2015), Alexis Sánchez (2014), Xavi Hernández (2013), Cesc Fábregas (2012), Pedro Rodríguez (2010 and 2011), Thierry Henry (2009) and Santi Ezquerro (2008).
