In our eagerness to find and tell the most curious stories, today we bring our readers one of the most interesting. The protagonist, Armando Mario Husillos, an Argentine footballer who had the opportunity to dress Real Madrid T-Shirt and Barcelona in a single match and who made the most of it, but nevertheless, it did not help him to sign for either of the two.
The Argentine forward (who has subsequently developed the work of sports director in different clubs) was trained in the lower categories of Boca Juniors and he scored two goals in two Argentine super classics. The first of them served for Boca to win by 1-0 a River and the second was important as the match ended with a 1-1 draw.
Mario Husillos and his hattricks
Very young he emigrated to Spain to sign for him Castile, Real Madrid subsidiary. His first and only game defending the merengue first team shirt was precisely in a friendly match between the Whites and the national team. Saudi Arabia which he ended with a resounding 7-0 and in which Mario Husillos was the most outstanding player achieving three goals. This did not help him to have more opportunities in the team and he returned to Argentina to play in Black Hill first and San Lorenzo after.
In 1983 returns to Spain to play for Real Murcia. Precisely being a paprika player comes a new great opportunity to tour the United States with him FC Barcelonain which it coincides with Maradona and Mágico González (another of those who was part of that experimental Barça).
Again he has the opportunity to play a match with the Catalans that ends with defeat by 5-3 Y… Who scored the three goals for Barça? Armando Mario Husillos. But again it is discarded and returns to Real Murcia hoping to return one day, something that would not happen.
Málaga, Tenerife, Cádiz, Cartagena O Cieza were some of his teams in Spain before retiring. Husillos hung up his boots without having continuity in either of the two greats but he can always say that he made the most of his opportunities and that he surely has the best scoring average with both shirts.
