Gonzalo capped a spectacular goalscoring week in Leganés. With Castilla he netted four goals against Algeciras and with the first team he headed the goal that took the team to the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey. It was a goal he will never forget, his first for the Real Madrid first team. After the clash, the academy product spoke to Realmadrid TV: “I'm very happy, nervous and with many emotions. It's been a dream since I was a child and since I joined the youth academy. I'm delighted to have scored the goal that got us through to the semi-finals.”

“The game was tight and I knew there were going to be set pieces or corners. That's why I had to be in the box to get on the end of the ball. I spoke to Brahim and told him to put it in when he was on the byline. He told me to be there. He played in the perfect cross and I managed to score.”
 
The happiest day of his career
“It's the happiest day of my career, along with my debut. Today is even better because of the significance of the goal and because of everything I've been working for this year. I'm delighted for the coaching staff and the players.”

Heroes
“The best players in the world are here, but if I had to choose one, it would be Mbappé. I see him in training and in matches. He's a terrific player. Another hero is Cristiano during his time at Madrid. For me, they are my role models.”

Top goal scorer in the Primera Federación with Castilla
“It's going quite well on a personal level and my numbers are good. It's not down to me. It's a team effort. I score the goals, but the passes come from the rest of the teammates. I can't take the credit because football is a team game.”
