Sergio Lozano has returned to dressing short, which he considers as a “title” due to all the injuries he has suffered in recent years. The captain of FC Barcelona, ??who was seriously injured on April 1, 2023 in the semifinals of the Copa del Rey against Mallorca Palma Futsal, played his first minutes of the season against Valdepeñas. On Saturday at 4:15 p.m., after ten months, he will return home, to the Palau, to face Noia Portus Apostoli.
The 35-year-old, who broke the anterior cruciate in his right knee, has already experienced similar situations during his career. In the last eight years, “El Búfalo” has suffered four serious injuries, all of them in that area. Even so, Lozano has never considered retiring, since “I don’t want my last image as a futsal player to be suffering from an injury. I want to decide when to retire,” he declared.
Not even the doctor’s comments telling him that “he risked having major consequences” have stopped the Madrid native, who knows “what I’m putting at stake, but my heart says that it wants to continue playing indoor soccer,” commented the soccer player.
After a long period, Lozano returns to the Palau to live a moment that “I have been dreaming of for a long time. Many friends, family, the culés and the Dracs will come. Thinking about that moment gives me a shot of energy,” he explained. “El Búfalo”, who is the top scorer in Barça’s futsal history, only thinks about “every day life and enjoying the return.” However, the culmination of his career would be “to win my fifth Champions League, since it is the title that would make me most excited to win.”
