How can Javier Hernández be champion in Europe while being in MLS?
Javier Hernández Balcázar arrived half a year ago at Los Angeles Galaxy. However, his past would cause him to be officially champion in Europe.
In January this year, Los Angeles Galaxy announced the signing of Javier Hernández Balcázar for 12 million euros paid to the club that owned his pass, Sevilla Fútbol Club. Since then, the Mexican scorer has played the 2020 season in Los Angeles Galaxy. However, his past in the Spanish team can cause him to become champion in Europe, without the need to be currently playing there.
This is because Sevilla Fútbol Club is in the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League. If the Spanish team won this tournament, Javier Hernández Balcázar would establish himself as champion alongside them, because the Mexican player played a match with Sevilla Fútbol Club in this competition.
Having played a match in this competition, and despite having left the club, the UEFA regulations protect Javier Hernández Balcázar and consider him part of the champion club, if Sevilla Fútbol Club wins the UEFA Europa League.
