The ex guardameta, that went in 2015 to the Port wine to follow there his career, goes back at last to the team in which it bred and in which it turned into one of the best archers of the world.

"For the Real Madrid is a pride receive homeward to one of his big captains", continued the writing of the group madridista. Of this way, Florentino Pérez announces the return of the that was one of the big icons of the team merengue during a lot of years. His exit, besides, was quite turbulent and woke up a lot of criticisms, something that desestabilizó to the Madrid and that generated a lot of controversy.

The madridismo divided a year before the course of Boxes by fault of the relation of the goalkeeper with José Mourinho, in that then trainer of the white group. The Portuguese and the one of Móstoles had an important clash that finish with the put in the bench and with Diego López to title all the course. The one of Setúbal alleged sportive reasons for the change in the goal, but always there was something more than this.

Iker did not give the level to beginning of this campaign 2012/2013 and Mou punished him with some suplencia, but was more a warning that something definite. But the archer lesionó in the middle of this vorágine and the Madrid brought to Diego López, that played to big level from his arrival and to the that the Portuguese did not want to remove once recovered the Madrilenian.

The Madrilenian 'sang' in several occasions and almost costs the final of the League of Champions by a his error. At the end, it followed a year more because Diego was traspasado to the Milan, but went back to fail too much, signalled him from the fans and decided to put an end to his stage in the Madrid in 2015. Now, it expects that the madridismo forgive him and remember his years of glory in this new place.
