So I came across this article about Piqué and Agüero paying tribute to a deceased player from the Kings League. Apparently, they both wore shirts with the player’s name and number during their warm-up before the match against Celta Vigo.
The article states that the player, who went by the nickname “Tachi,” was only 27 years old and had played for the Kings League team Rayo Majadahonda. He passed away from complications related to COVID-19.
I think it’s really nice to see professional footballers honoring and showing support for a fellow player like this. It speaks to the sense of community that exists within the sport.
I also found it interesting to learn about the Kings League, which I hadn’t heard of before. It’s apparently a semi-professional league in Spain that features teams made up of players from marginalized communities, such as immigrants and people with disabilities. It sounds like a really inclusive and empowering initiative.
Overall, this article is a reminder of the human aspect of sports and how it can bring people together in times of tragedy. It’s important to remember the players who have passed away and to continue to support their legacies.
