In Spain, the dead from the coronavirus number in the thousands, the situation in that country is the worst after Italy. But one death unrelated to the pandemic shook everyone in the Iberian Peninsula.
Atletico Madrid announced that its 14-year-old footballer, Christian Mignola, has died.
The boy who arrived in "Kolćoneros" as a seven-year-old died today, but it was not announced from what. The media only found out that it was not due to the coronavirus.
- We are shocked by the sad news about the death of our player and deeply regret it. Atlético Madrid and the entire Atlético family will be with Cristiano's family in these moments of immense pain - said the president of Atlético, Enrique Cereso.
And the general manager Miguel Angel Hill is devastated by the pain.
- People who were very close to us died in the last few days. Some from the coronavirus, and some from other diseases and the feeling that they cannot say goodbye to them as they deserve, as in the case of Christian, is a great injustice and leaves the heart broken. Starting today, our flag will be flown at half-mast for Christian and all the athletes who have died in recent weeks.
