Alvaro Carreras is Real Madrid's new 50 million euro signing. He will wear the number 18 shirt for the next six seasons. And what's interesting here is that fans call this number cursed.
According to Lent.az, citing foreign media, its last owner was Jesus Vallejo, who played only 18 games for the "Royal Club".
Before him was Camavinga, but the Frenchman quickly changed his 18th place to 14th. Even earlier, Gareth Bale played with the same number when he returned from loan from Tottenham.
The best players who have emerged more or less with this number recently are Lucas Vazquez (one season) and Ruben de la Red. The rest are all failed transfers or reserves: Jonathan Woodgate, Mariano Diaz, Antonio Cassano, Julien Faubert, Luka Jovic.
There were also those who rarely appeared at the Bernabeu: Portillo, Llorente, Saviola, Victor Sanchez.
Now Carreras will not only have to prove his 50 million value, but also break the myth of the cursed number 18. Will he succeed?
