I was bored and wanted to kill the boredom inside me I came across of this name, Paulino Alcantara (the first A in their should have a ' above). I saw his nationality and I was amaze. I don't even believe that he is a Filipino (and half Spanish) and played for Barca and for the Spain national team. Well, he is a legend. He is now the inspiration of the other people. He was the first Filipino and Asian player to play for the European club.
More INTERESTING Information about his:
- He is also scored 357 goals in 357 matches, making him the club's highest goalscorer. After retiring as a player in 1927 at the age of 31, he became a doctor.
- Barcelona won 9–0, with Alcántara scoring the first three goals of the game.
- He was nicknamed "El Rompe Redes" (the net breaker) after he broke the net with a shot during a match against France.
- He helped the club win two Philippine Championships; in 1917 and 1918. During this time, Barcelona had failed to win a championship title in his absence.
- He is still the youngest player to play and score for FC Barcelona in a competitive game.
- He is also a Ilonggo!
