At the "Idolo del Astillero", he was able to achieve 5 national titles and was 3 times runner-up. He did not play the first Copa Libertadores final with Barcelona because there was no agreement with the leadership to renew the contract and had to leave the club. When twelve years of their retirement has elapsed, the midfielder says that football has left many friends, two houses (one in Guayaquil and one in Esmeraldas), a vehicle and the greatest treasure of which he is very proud: his family. He does not know why he got the nickname of Mafalda. He just remembers that it was at a friends gathering he was named Mafalda. Galo ‘Mafalda’ Vásquez en su billar.[1]
