HERNÁN GALÍNDEZ, ENAMORADO DEL ECUADOR Y MUNDIALISTA CON LA TRI

Hernán Galíndez, from midfielder to goalkeeper, the 5-year-old boy who grew up in Rosario and faced Messi was born to make history—a history written with love, sacrifice, and a deep respect and admiration for his friends and teammates. Hernán played for Rosario Central and Quilmes, and with Universidad Católica of Ecuador, he won the Serie B title. He also had a stint with Universidad de Chile. With Aucas, he won the Ecuadorian league title, and now he shines with Huracán in Argentina. The 38-year-old goalkeeper will play in his second World Cup with Ecuador; his experience in Qatar 2022 was one of the best professional and personal experiences of his life.
