May 4, 2022. Real Madrid achieves a new miraculous comeback in Champions, this time against City, in the semifinals. Rodrygo’s two goals in the discount carry the Qualifier to the extension and there Benzema, penalty, makes 3-1 … and puts the whites, who manage to endure the final onslaught of those of Guardiola with a defense of circumstances: Lucas and Mendy on the sides Carvajal, Nacho and Vallejo as central. Yes, Vallejo, hero against City and today invisible central of the first white template.
It was eight minutes of gold from Zaragozano, who came out to cancel the City of the City and became great as never before in Madrid: “I appreciate that it is valued, but you don’t have to give it so much hype because it was a normal performance,” said the central time later. Actually, its impact on that minimum time was more relevant than he admits. Won three aerial balls that avoided situations of great danger with a Madrid Already locked in his own field and a City overturned looking for the goal that the semifinal would have taken to penalties. But Vallejo’s personality was always like that. A working, humble and noble boy in each of the locker room he has been. In the summer of 2023, when the signing of Bellingham was known and his assignment to Granada was not even on the table, he did not hesitate when the club asked him if he did not mind giving up his dorsal number ‘5’ to English. So simple and good partner is the football player.
Second assignment in Granada
In that 21-22 season of the traces in Champions, such as the City, Vallejó played 353 minutes. Little, but much more than the only 88 minutes he played in the 22-23 campaign. So he decided to look for more prominence and with the good level he showed in Granada between January 20 and June 2021, in a transfer of a year and a half of which he was part of the best stage of the Andalusian club (Cup and quarterfinalist semifinalist of the Europa League) the Nazarí club opted again for him. Another assignment, this time in the year back to first of the Grenadebut this time nothing was like before.
Vallejo played the ninety minutes of the first match of the 2023-24 League, in the Metropolitan (3-1), then chained two muscle injuries and could only play six more minutes on day nine against Barça and ten on date 19 against the Cádiz. That was on January 3, 2024. From there at the end of the season, he not only did not compete again, but also did not enter any call, with the team in need of any help to try to stay in the first, something that was impossible.
Since that month of January, there were no medical parts or official explanations of what exactly happened to Vallejo, but this newspaper has been able to confirm from different sources of that costumes that suffered serious mental health problems that prevented him from exercising his profession. Problems that decided not to make public, although he had at his side the example of Sergio Ruiz. The midfielder of Granada also suffered in 2020 mental health problems and not only exposed it openly, but also as long as it can collaborate in awareness campaigns that Granada performs and advocates by giving it maximum visibility.
It is not so in the case of Vallejo, whose silence and that of its entire environment caused a sports media to ensure that his non -availability to play was due to divorce with his whole life partner, something that he chatterly denied on his social networks. It was once finished the assignment in Granada and before returning to Madrid, in which this season plays his last year of contract and, either, he is having weight in sports: «Nothing happens with him. He trains well, but the problem is that his contract ends and we prefer to give young people more, ”said Ancelotti just before the Cup against the Leganés, to the question of this newspaper of why before the plague of central injuries, they entered their kid plans of Castilla before Vallejo. Modric and Lucas They also end contract on June 30, and that is why they are being transparent.
Jesus has only played 10 minutes so far this season. They were the last ten of Madrid-Alavés on day 7. With 3-0 on the scoreboard, a good part the Bernabéu began to sing “she takes Vallejo, Ancelotti takes Vallejo.” A desire that mixed love and some irony. Carletto He listened to the fans, and put it in the field in the 80th minute. The match ended 3-2 and was not 3-3 of Milagro. He was not responsible for that unexpected collapse that almost cost him the victory, but since then he has never had Ancelotti with Vallejo. And if we pay attention to the Italian words, it has almost impossible to play again. Jesús Vallejo, from hero against City in 2022 to invisible footballer in 2025. Today he is summoned again.
