LA Galaxy striker Chicharito: Playing for Man Utd and Real Madrid still left me empty

LA Galaxy striker Javier Hernandez admits leaving Real Madrid had him looking at his life differently.

Chicharito joined Real Madrid from Manchester United befor eventually leaving for Germany.

There are two watersheds in my life. The first was when I left Real Madrid to go to Bayer Leverkusen," he explained.

At that moment, I personally had to question myself. I found myself in a place where there are no better clubs than the ones I have played for. I had already played and scored in World Cups, World Cup qualifiers, the Champions League, a Champions League finalist...

At that moment, I starting to look at it in a different way, from another perspective. I realised that I had achieved more things than I had imagined, but I kept feeling an emptiness, as though I needed something.

That was the first turning point in discovering that I am not just about my goals, my clothes or my name, it was the start a more spiritual and philosophical path."
