Javier Hernandez bagged arguably the biggest goal of his club career Wednesday as his winner sent his club into the semis with a win over local rival Atletico.
Javier Hernandez has scored goals before. He’s scored goals for Real Madrid before. But the Mexican-born striker may not have scored any one bigger in his club career than his winner Wednesday, which put Real into the Champions League semifinals with a 1-0 win over local rival Atletico Madrid.
Starting in place of the injured Karim Benzema, Hernandez finished off superb work from Cristiano Ronaldo, who broke into the area, drew two Atletico defenders and keeper Jan Oblak to him, before finding Chicharito unmarked.
