Also being able to appear as a forward, Llorente found it difficult to break into the starting XI, barred by Míchel in his natural position and Hugo Sánchez and Emilio Butragueño up front.
[1] His moment of glory came during the second leg of the second round of the 1987–88 European Cup, as he appeared from the bench with Real trailing 1–0 at FC Porto (2–1 win at home) to assist Míchel twice after powerful flank runs, as his uncle Francisco in the 50/60s.
[5] Llorente played once for Spain, against Albania for the UEFA Euro 1988 qualifiers on 18 November 1987, scoring one of the five without response in Seville.
Other than his uncle, his three brothers were also professionals: José Luis (1959) and Antonio "Toñín" [es] (1963) played top-level basketball for well more than one decade (including at Real Madrid), while the youngest, Julio, made nearly 400 overall official appearances during his career as a defender, coinciding with Paco at Real from 1988 to 1990.
[7] The nephew of legendary Real Madrid footballer Francisco Gento, his son Marcos also played for the club.
