Historical profile
Career overview
Jorge Alberto González Barillas (born 13 March 1958), popularly known as El Mágico ("The Magical One" or "The Wizard"), is a Salvadoran former professional footballer who played mainly as a forward. At the club level, he played mainly for FAS and Spain's Cádiz in a 24-year senior career. Dogged by his self-admitted and often-reported lack of discipline, he was often mentioned as one of the most skilled footballers ever produced by El Salvador, and as one of the greatest players from the CONCACAF region. González represented the El Salvador national team for more than two decades, taking part in the 1982 World Cup and the 1998 Gold Cup.
