May 1st According to the news from Le Marca, the famous Spanish national team "drumman Manolo" died at the age of 76.

Manolo 'eldel Bombo '), a famous Spanish national team fan, died in Villareal for several days after being hospitalized for respiratory problems on May 1 at the age of 76.

Manolo's last public appearance was in the Spanish match against the Netherlands at the Mestalia Stadium at the end of March this year. This iconic Spanish fan has followed the "Mattes Legion" since the 1982 Spanish World Cup and cheered for the national team in the following ten World Cups: Spain in 1982, Mexico in 1986, Italy in 1990, the United States in 1994, France in 1998, South Korea and Japan in 2006, Germany in 2010, South Africa in 2014, Brazil in 2018 and Russia in 2018.

In addition, Manolo has almost never missed a national team match, whether it is a friendly or a qualifier. Although he had planned to go to Qatar to watch the Spanish team game, and the Spanish Football Association also provided him with tickets to the game and roundtrip air tickets, it was ultimately not allowed to travel due to accommodation issues.
