Jacobo Ramón’s Goal Breaks a Notable Real Madrid Curse

Jacobo Ramón made his first LaLiga start and, in just the opening minute, suffered a fall in a duel with Cyle Larin. As he got up, he received encouragement from Dani Ceballos, supportive words from Fede Valverde, and the trust of the rest of the team — backing him as if he had been a regular all season.

The Real Madrid center-back finished the match with 100% passing accuracy, completing 45 passes without a single error. But the highlight came in the dying moments of the match, when Jacobo scored a goal he’ll never forget — although there’s still no way to tattoo a video onto your skin to remember it forever.

Jacobo’s Reaction After the Match

“I don’t even know how, but it went in,” he said on the pitch, his body still shaking from the emotion and joy of scoring the winning goal for Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu in the 95th minute.
“This is unbelievable. I’ve dreamed of this my whole life. This shirt means ‘until the end,’ and there’s no better way to score my first goal than like this. It was incredible — especially in that minute,” he added.

With the scoreboard showing 2–1, Jacobo ran toward the corner flag, hand on the crest, and pointing to it with his index finger in pride. Jesús Vallejo joined him for the whole sprint, Arda Güler jumped on him, and one by one, the entire team celebrated — including a pat from Kylian Mbappé and a final embrace with Gonzalo, his faithful Castilla teammate.

Ending a Strange Dry Spell

In addition to securing the win, Jacobo Ramón’s goal ended a bizarre streak for Real Madrid — something few fans were aware of.

“Jacobo Ramón (in the 90’+5’) scores his first goal with Real Madrid’s senior team and prevents Barcelona from clinching the title early. Barça will now have to win tomorrow at Espanyol to be crowned champions. Jacobo also ends the longest goal drought by Spanish-eligible players in LaLiga history: 58 consecutive goals scored by Real Madrid players not eligible for Spain (since Lucas Vázquez’s goal vs. Alavés eight months ago),” explained MisterChip.
