Legendary Spain national football team supporter passes away.


Manuel Caceres Artezero, known as 'Manolo el del Bombo', has died at the age of 77. He was a well-known supporter of the Spain national football team and Valencia. Manolo passed away on May 1 after several days of treatment in a hospital in Vila-Real due to breathing problems.
Manolo became famous during the 1982 World Cup when he supported the Spain national team. He attended over 400 matches of this team in World Cups and European Championships.
In 2020, Manolo reported financial difficulties due to the coronavirus pandemic and was willing to sell one of his famous drums, which he used to support the Spain national team in major tournaments.
The last match Manolo supported the Spain national team in took place on March 23 at the 'Mestalla' stadium against the Netherlands.
Sadly, Maciej 'Shushei' Ratuszniak, a renowned Polish esports player and the winner of the first League of Legends World Championship in 2011, has also passed away. Ratuszniak died at the age of 36, with the cause of his death not disclosed. The team Fnatic expressed condolences to Ratuszniak's friends and family.
Maciej Ratuszniak not only won the tournament in 2011 but was also recognized as the best player of that tournament. He continued playing League of Legends until 2013, after which he left esports.
Also, during the Movistar Madrid Half Marathon, unfortunate incidents occurred. One participant died after a sudden cardiac arrest just 500 meters from the finish line. At the Time, over 27,000 runners were participating in the competition. Another 20-year-old participant also died due to heart problems, and 50 participants received medical assistance during the event.
We have lost two outstanding individuals - Manuel Caceres Artezero and Maciej Ratuszniak. Both made significant contributions to their sports fields - Manuel was a well-known supporter, and Maciej a famous esports player. This is a great loss for the sports community. May their loved ones find strength and patience in this difficult time.
