Sad news from Madrid: Air crashes shortly after takeoff. Arda Güler escapes for little death. A nutrition coach dies.
This afternoon, the sky of Madrid suddenly darkened not only because of bad weather, but also for unexpected tragedy: a private plane crashed minutes after takeoff, causing a powerful explosion that shook the entire area of the Barajas airport.
The first reports of the rescue team indicated that a Real Madrid member – initially believed that he was the young player Arda Güler – and his personal nutrition coach were also on board. However, a miracle occurred: Arda Güler could not climb the plane due to the congestion of traffic on the way to the airport.
A turn of destiny: one stays, another leaves.
A Real Madrid source confirmed that Arda Güler and his personal nutrition coach had planned to fly to a gym in Switzerland to prepare the end of the season. The plane was full, the agenda was clear and both confirmed its presence. However, Arda Güler was stuck in a jam in the M-40 and could not take time to take off. Meanwhile, Güler’s nutrition coach, who accompanied him since his arrival at Real Madrid, went up to the plane as planned.
Just minutes after takeoff, the plane suffered a serious technical breakdown, lost control and crashed into the east end of the airport, causing a great explosion. The fire unleashed violently, a black smoke flooded the entire area and the nutrition coach died.
Reaction of Real Madrid: “We have lost a brother.”
Real Madrid issued an official statement immediately after the information was confirmed:
“We are sad to find out about this afternoon’s plane crash. A member of our support team lost our lives in the fulfillment of his duty. We offer our most sincere condolences to his family. Arda Güler was lucky to survive, but the pain in his heart is indescribable.”
Coach Carlo Ancelotti also declared an emergency press conference:
Arda cried a lot. He said that if it hadn’t been for the traffic jam, I would probably not be here now.
The silent teacher, the hero behind the scenes:
The nutrition coach, whose name has not been officially revealed, has closely followed Arda Güler since its inception in Madrid. He designed his diet and recovery program, and helped him overcome his early season injury.
Not in the field, not marking, but being an essential part of the development of a young talent.
A moment that stunned the entire team
. In the Sports City of Valdebebas, training was suspended this afternoon. Real Madrid players, especially the youngest, gathered to commemorate their recently deceased partner.
Vinícius Jr. Paraó EN Instagram:
“Incredible! We talked yesterday. I was always smiling and encouraging everyone. Rest in peace”.
Football reminds us once again the fragility of life.
Arda Güler, considered the future of Real Madrid, escaped by little death in a car accident. However, his friend was not so lucky.
This tragedy is not only a personal loss, but also a reminder that behind the games and goals there are people who live, contribute and sometimes die in silence.
