Five things you didn't know about Real Madrid target Theo Hernandez

#1 He and Lucas could break a record that has stood for nearly 90 years

Lucas could face off against his brother Theo in the next Madrid derby

Should Theo complete his move to Real Madrid, as seems likely, the odds would be on him and his brother crossing swords in the derby. The last time that two brothers faced off against each other in that particular encounter was 1929-30, when Atleti won 2-1 at home, with Alfonso Olaso on their side and Luis Olaso playing for the visitors.

That is the only occasion that two siblings have come face-to-face in the Spanish capital’s premier match up.

In the 1980s, Paco Llorente and Julio Llorente played for the two clubs, but never at the same time. Fittingly, Paco’s son, Marcos, plays with Alaves on loan from Madrid.
