Template:Short description Template:Family name hatnote Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox football biography Sebastián Losada Bestard (born 3 September 1967) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a striker.

He amassed La Liga totals of 131 matches and 34 goals over nine seasons in representation of five teams, starting his career with Real Madrid.

Club career

A Real Madrid youth graduate, Madrid-born Losada made his first-team debut on 9 September 1984 in a 1–1 away draw against Sporting de Gijón,[1] but would not have a successful period with the capital side. He did, however, score eight La Liga goals in just 16 appearances in the 1989–90 season as Real were crowned champions,[2][3] adding the club's goal number 400 in the European Cup in a 2–2 draw at Swarovski Tirol on 7 November 1990.[4][5]

In 1987–88, Losada served a loan stint with RCD Español[6] and netted eight top-division goals during the campaign, also helping the team to reach the UEFA Cup final: he scored twice in the first leg for the Catalans (3–0),[7] but missed his penalty shootout attempt in the eventual loss against Bayer 04 Leverkusen.[8]

Subsequently, Losada played for Atlético Madrid (frequently feuding with club president Jesús Gil),[9][10] Sevilla FC – where he coincided with Diego Maradona[11]– and RC Celta de Vigo.[12] After retiring at only 27 he became a lawyer, and also unsuccessfully ran for president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation in 2004.[13]

International career

Losada earned his only cap for the Spain national team on 18 January 1995, playing the second half of a 2–2 friendly draw with Uruguay in A Coruña.[14] He also appeared for the under-20s at the 1985 FIFA World Youth Championship, scoring three goals in five matches for the runners-up.[15]
