A powerful earthquake struck the southern districts of Madrid just 30 minutes ago, sending shockwaves across the capital and leaving thousands in distress. The unexpected seismic event measured 6.7 on the Richter scale, according to early reports from the Spanish National Geological Institute, and was felt throughout the city, causing panic, infrastructure damage, and widespread disruption.
Emergency services are currently responding to numerous calls as buildings in Carabanchel, Usera, and Villaverde reported structural collapses and road damages. The metro system in affected areas has been shut down, and schools and businesses are being evacuated. So far, dozens have been reported injured, and authorities fear the numbers may rise.
Luka Modrić’s Incredible Response: €100 Million Donated
In an unbelievable act of generosity, Real Madrid legend Luka Modrić has donated €100 million to support rescue and recovery operations. The Croatian midfielder, who has always kept a low profile off the pitch, made the emergency contribution via the Real Madrid Foundation just minutes after the news broke.
“This city has given me everything. I want to do whatever I can to help Madrid in this terrible moment,” Modrić said in an emotional message posted on social media.
His donation has sparked a wave of support, with fans and fellow players praising him for stepping up in such a critical time.
The Shocking Twist: A Player Found Trapped
Even more shocking is the breaking news that a Real Madrid player was found trapped under rubble in a luxury apartment complex near the quake’s epicenter.
While officials have not yet confirmed the identity, sources say the player is believed to be a key figure in the current squad. Rescue workers are on the scene and trying to safely extract the individual, who is reportedly conscious but injured.
Real Madrid Responds
Real Madrid has issued a brief statement:
“We are monitoring the situation closely and are working with local authorities. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this tragedy.”
The club has also opened the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium as a temporary shelter for those displaced by the quake.
