It is a real tragedy that has been hitting Spain for several days. According to a latest report, 217 people died in the tragic floods, including 213 in the Valencia region alone, three in Castile-la-Mancha. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has promised that 5,000 additional soldiers will come to the aid of the victims and participate in the search for the many missing, bringing their total strength to 7,500 without counting the thousands of police and civil guards on the front line. Spanish football is paying tribute to the Valencian people this weekend.
The meeting between Real Madrid and Valencia at Mestalla has logically been postponed. The same goes for Villarreal against Rayo. And during the match between Atletico Madrid and Las Palmas, captain Koke ran to get a special Colchoneros jersey to celebrate Giuliano Simeone’s opener with a special tribute to the people of Valencia and its surroundings: ” Força i ànims “, was written in flocking of the Atlético jersey, which means “Strength and Courage” in Apitxat, a set of dialects from the Valencia region. When tragedies strike a country, rivalries no longer exist and give way to tributes.
