Hugo Sanchez: The Real Madrid Legend Who Scored 38 Goals With 38 First Touches in a Single Season

• Former Real Madrid striker Hugo Sanchez scored 38 goals during the 1989/90 season in the Spanish Primera division
• The astonishing feat about his goals that season is the fact that he scored every single one of them with his first touch
• Hugo Sanchez is widely regarded by football lovers as the greatest Mexican footballer of all time

Legendary Mexican forward Hugo Sanchez is regarded as one of the greatest ever Real Madrid players in history.

The goal-poacher joined the Los Blancos in 1985 from city rivals Atletico Madrid.

He is famous for his goal-scoring prowess, notching 208 goals in 283 appearances for the Spanish champions.

Back in the 1980s, Hugo Sanchez won four Pichichi awards in a row.

His goals were not ordinary, as he boasts a wide range of finishes, from bicycle kicks and freekicks and even a chested goal.

But the prolific goalscorer did something unheard of in the 1988/89 season while wearing the colours of Real Madrid.

Sanchez managed to register 38 goals in La Liga that campaign.

But that's not what's remarkable - the fact that he scored every single one of those goals via a first-touch finish.

From bicycle kicks to free-kicks and headers, Sanchez did the impossible as he scored all of them with just a single touch.

This is a record both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will be jealous of. Of course, the Portuguese captain holds the record for most goals scored in a single La Liga season - 48 goals in 2014/15.
