Heartwarming Gesture from FC Barcelona Atlètic Players
Football transcends mere sport, and FC Barcelona once again exemplified this. Following their match against Unionistas, some players from FC Barcelona Atlètic approached María, a young Culé fan battling a severe illness, to take photos and sign autographs. Similar to the round of 16 Copa del Rey match between Unionistas de Salamanca and FC Barcelona, the club showed a heartwarming gesture towards María. On that occasion, she took a photo in the dressing room with the first-team players and received Ferran Torres’ jersey. Despite FC Barcelona Atlètic’s loss, several players made a beautiful gesture towards María after the game. Pau Víctor gifted her his signed jersey with the number 19, while Marc Vidal presented her with his gloves. Noah Darvich and other players also approached her before the match started. The tough 4-1 defeat at Reina Sofía ends Rafa Márquez’s side’s unbeaten streak, but these gestures transcend the result. FC Barcelona Atlètic’s squad’s gesture adds to those of the first team a few months ago and Atlético de Madrid, a club María also supports, whose squad she had the pleasure of meeting last year.
