The rise of Gonzalo Garcia, Real Madrid's breakthrough star of the Club World Cup
Real Madrid academy striker Gonzalo Garcia is having a life-changing Club World Cup. He came into the tournament in the background, almost an unknown player to the general public, and three starts later — due to Kylian Mbappe's acute gastroenteritis — everyone knows what he is capable of now. Gonzalo scored the first goal for Xabi Alonso's Madrid in the opener against Al Hilal, was involved in two of the three goals against Pachuca (one was an assist) and scored again against Salzburg. Advertisement 'I knew a lot (about him) because I've followed Castilla a lot,' explained Alonso after qualifying for the next round. 'For me, it's not so surprising what he's doing. He reminds me of Raul in many ways.' Gonzalo's story in the competition has been like a movie and now that he is a protagonist, something new about him becomes known every day. The latest is that the 21-year-old's grandfather, the bullfighter Manuel Torres-Cansino, was a cousin of the American actress Margarita Carmen Cansino, commonly known as Rita Hayworth. In other words, 1940s star Hayworth is Gonzalo's great aunt, so it could be said that success in the United States runs in the family. Few details describe the rapid development this 'canterano' (homegrown player) has experienced more significantly than the fan reactions to his name, with clear increasing noise, in each of the group-stage stadiums at the pre-match presentation ceremony. This boom has even meant that no one is now ruling out Gonzalo continuing to be a regular member of Alonso's first team, despite the fact that he landed in Miami with the general expectation that he would leave this summer in search of more minutes. 'It will depend on the club and the coach,' Gonzalo said on Wednesday. 'There is no decision yet,' Alonso said on Thursday. After speaking to sources inside and outside the club, talking anonymously to protect relationships, The Athletic tells you the full story of Real Madrid's surprise breakthrough star in the USA. Gonzalo arrived at La Fabrica, as Madrid's youth system is known, in 2014, joining Alevin B — the under-11 team — aged 10. He joined from youth club Jarama Race, in San Sebastian de los Reyes (northern Madrid), where he was coached by Daniel Ortiz between 2012 and 2014. 'He stood out for his speed — he flew! — and his level of responsibility despite his age,' Ortiz recalls. Advertisement In 2018, Gonzalo spent a season at Mallorca due to his family moving to Palma for his father's job (he works in the hospitality industry). A year later, he returned to the club and went on to make his first-team debut at the end of 2023 in the La Liga visit to Cadiz, under Carlo Ancelotti. The road to that first peak was far from easy, as in none of Gonzalo's first seasons after his return did he score more than 10 goals. 'At the beginning, he played more on the wing at Madrid, even as a full-back,' remembers Marc Cucalon, Madrid's 'next Xabi Alonso' who had to retire at 19 and is now part of the scouting team of management agency Unlimited Sports Management. 'When he came back from Mallorca, he struggled a bit, so the key was (Alvaro) Arbeloa in increasing his standards to very high levels.' Arbeloa, the former Real Madrid and Liverpool player, and the new Castilla coach from this summer, was able to see in Gonzalo what no one else could in order to enhance his qualities and polish his deficiencies. Gonzalo scored 35 goals with the Juvenil A in the 2022-2023 season, leading his team to a historic national treble. The statistics are especially spectacular taking into account the player's previous records and the fact that he played many games as a left winger. One of Gonzalo's qualities is his versatility, as he can play in any position in attack. Alonso took advantage of this against Pachuca, where Gonzalo started as a No 9 but when Raul Asencio was sent off, he moved to the left flank and Vinicius Junior was the striker. But perhaps his greatest hallmark is his mentality and ambition. 'He is a very good person and has always been very focused,' explains Cucalon, 'The typical boy with the highest grades and the best in everything, with a family (he has a brother and a sister) that is amazing. Advertisement 'And he takes everything to the fullest. When we played pachangas (pick-up games) with his friends, he would take it like a Champions League final. Then we'd play PlayStation and it's the same thing. He doesn't leave anything behind.' 'He's f****** sick!'' says a coach who knows him from the Real Madrid academy. 'He works hard, he puts in a brutal intensity, he is focused — and he doesn't give you a smile, whether you're the coach, the physical trainer or one of the team-mates with more quality. 'If you don't pass to him, he makes you see that you have to pass to him; if you don't work well, he makes you see that you don't work well. He doesn't hold back. All that is in a good sense: he has personality and is very committed both to the team and to himself.' There is an anecdote that also speaks to Gonzalo's mindset. In the final of the Copa de Campeones de Juvenil (Spanish football's biggest youth trophy) in 2023, Gonzalo failed to defend in a corner that ended with the Betis goal. At half-time, he said in the dressing room that he would make up for it and then promptly scored twice to fire Madrid to a 3-1 win. 🫂⚽️ ¡¡𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐎𝐎𝐋 𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐎𝐎𝐋 𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐎𝐎𝐋 𝗗𝗘𝗟 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟 𝗠𝗔𝗗𝗥𝗜𝗗!! 🚀 Gran jugada de Nico Paz que acaba con un cabezazo de Gonzalo al fondo de la red. 🆚 @RBetisCantera 1-2 @lafabricacrm 📺 @vamos#CopaDeCampeones — RFEF (@rfef) May 20, 2023 His rise then was unstoppable and he maintained that magnificent dynamic at Real Madrid Castilla. After a season of adaptation with just five goals, former head coach Raul took advantage of the momentum and Gonzalo registered the all-time record of goals (25) in the 2024-25 season in Primera RFEF (the third tier). 'He's a kid with a lot of potential, with a very good physique, a very good finish and a very good shot,' says a Castilla coaching staff source. 'The only thing he has to have is patience, as he is one of those who wants to speed up the processes.' Advertisement There's that hunger again. 'He is the kind of player that highlights and uses that for his level of confidence to elevate him,' the source continues. 'They're not intimidated by anything. They believe until death in themselves.' Despite all this, it was not until last February that Gonzalo's name gained a little more notoriety among Madrid fans. The striker scored a header in the 93rd minute of the Copa del Rey quarter-final at Leganes, avoiding extra time and taking Madrid through to the semi-finals. Despite being 1.82m (5ft 11ins) tall, he showed, at Butarque, his impressive jump ability. Alonso's arrival has opened up a new horizon for him and other academy players. The other key factor in Gonzalo's emergence has been the injury to Endrick, who cannot play in the Club World Cup. Off the pitch, Garcia is studying a five-year double degree in business administration and direction and business analytics, with a specialism in big data. On it, he is a player that Alonso likes, and those who know Gonzalo best in Valdebebas had told him that he would have minutes in the U.S.. The reality has exceeded all expectations. 'I am almost sure that he will stay (at Madrid this summer),' a source close to Gonzalo tells The Athletic. 'As of today, he is the most different of all the attacking players. The team doesn't have a striker like him and he has a lot of resources and qualities: he can be a 9 in the area and he also can play on either flank. He threatens with depth, he works (for the team) a lot.' The Athletic previously reported that Madrid have been looking for a Joselu-style No 9 with impact in the penalty area, who accepts a secondary role and does not involve a big financial investment in this summer's transfer window. But what if that striker could end up being Gonzalo, who was asked, after being named man of the match against Al Hilal, if he thinks he could be a success at the Bernabeu. 'Of course I'm convinced,' he said. 'That's what I'm working for and I've been working for since I entered the academy of Real Madrid.' If Gonzalo continues to live his American dream, he can continue to convince the rest.

Antiques Roadshow expert sends guest AWAY after spotting 'crucial' detail missing from diamond bracelet linked to Hollywood star
An Antiques Roadshow expert sent a guest away after spotting a 'crucial' detail missing from their diamond bracelet, which was linked to a Hollywood star. A resurfaced episode of the BBC show, which sees specialist appraisers value heirlooms and heritage items, went to the Baddesley Clinton manor in Warwickshire. Expert Geoffrey Munn was asked to assess a stunning diamond bracelet, said to have once belonged to iconic Hollywood actress Rita Hayworth. He admired the beautiful jewellery: 'Diamonds sparkling in the sunshine here. This is almost Hollywood sunshine, isn't it?' The owner replied, revealing the item's Tinseltown origins: 'It is indeed and that is exactly where this was bought.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She purchased the bracelet from an antique and jewellery store on Hollywood. The woman was introduced to the owner and they soon developed a close friendship, which lasted 24 years until the shopkeeper passed away. She added: 'It's always nice to have a jeweller as a friend. 'And I had inheritance so I thought I would put it into something tangible and also pretty and also probably a better investment than the bank.' With this origin story about diamonds and best friends, Geoffrey could not resist a couple of obvious jokes: 'Your best friend, a girl's best friend, all these cliches are tumbling out onto the table!' The owner said she bought the bracelet for $23,000, which is around £13,500 - but it was her mention of its previous owner that got Geoffrey really excited. 'But in fact it had belonged to Rita Hayworth', she said, to which the expert responded enthusiastically: 'Oh, how marvelous! That's very good to know.' The jewellery was a gift to the actress and pin-up girl, who was one of the top stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood, best known for her turn in 1946 noir film Gilda. It was given to her by her third husband of a total five - Aly Khan, whose father was the former President of the Assembly of the League of Nations. The current owner of the bracelet, which she described as '1940s, American, fabulous Hollywood glitz', was clearly a big fan of Rita: 'She was an amazing star and a real Hollywood A-lister. 'She acted with absolutely everybody in Hollywood at the time - Glenn Ford, Frank Sinatra, Orson Welles.' Geoffrey agreed, pointing to her many fans: 'She was much adored and much loved.' But the owner, despite her best efforts, had not been able to find a picture of Rita wearing the bracelet so far. The specialist recommended she go away and keep trying to find such an image: 'Well, I will send you home to look for those photographs and maybe even her will would be interesting too, wouldn't it? 'And you've got to go in for a bit of open cast archaeology here because the provenance of these pieces have to be crucial in every sense of the word.' 'Because they're heirlooms, they're talismans and when you can associate them with somebody famous, someone utterly glamorous in lifestyle and in looks, then this adds hugely to your investment in some regard.' His recommendation informed his eventual estimate of how much the jewellery would go under the hammer for. Geoffrey said: 'Maybe if you go home and do your Rita Hayworth thing, find a photograph of her wearing it under the most spectacular circumstances with somebody famous, well, then £80,000.' The owner was absolutely delighted by this estimate: 'That's good! That was really quite a buy!' But the expert was quick to add: 'But if we can't find that and never do, then it's not so much fun. It might only be a mere £45,000.' The woman was not at all put off by that: 'It's still good! It's still lovely! I'm delighted!' It comes after guests on another more recent episode of Antiques Roadshow were stunned into silence after learning the eye-watering value of a watch purchased for just £21. Sunday's instalment of the popular BBC show saw expert Ben Wright presented with a pair of Rolex watches. One of them, the watch that cost only £21 originally, belonged to the guest's great-great-grandfather and was identified as the Rolex Prince. Sunday's instalment of the popular BBC show saw expert Ben Wright (pictured) presented with a pair of Rolex watches The other, more recent one, meanwhile, was his father's, who had accompanied the guest to appear on the programme. Of the older watch, Ben said, also looking at the paperwork accompanying it: 'I notice there's a little bit of wear and tear on the dial and we've got a later winder on the case.' Ben then went on to comment on the Rolex Submariner, which belongs to the father. 'I was a merchant navy cadet in 1976 and I saved up my pittance to buy that in Singapore. It was £250 I think,' he revealed. The specialist then revealed his valuation: 'At auction the Rolex Prince is going to be between £3,000 and £4,000. 'The Submariner, it's in great condition, all in all, the full ensemble at auction easily £8,000 to £12,000.' The father and son duo smiled and nodded silently at the whopping values, utterly stunned, before thanking Ben.
