Riyadh Air Metropolitano held a respectful minute of silence in memory of Koke’s mother
Our fans showed their support for our captain, Koke, and Borja Resurrección, assistant coach of the Juvenil A team, following the death of their mother.
On Tuesday, before the start of our Champions League match against Manchester United, a minute of silence was held in memory of Ana María Merodio Borja, the mother of our captain, Koke, who passed away on Tuesday morning in Madrid. Our club requested UEFA’s permission to hold a minute’s silence both at the first-team match and at the UEFA Youth League fixture, as well as to allow players to wear black armbands.
European football’s governing body granted permission for this heartfelt tribute in memory of the mother of our captain and our Academy coach. Furthermore, as a mark of respect for her memory, the red-and-white flag at Riyadh Air Metropolitano flew at half-mast.
At Atlético de Madrid, we would like to extend our deepest condolences to all her family and friends, especially to Koke, captain of the first team, and Borja Resurrección, assistant coach of the U19 side.
May she rest in peace.
