There’s one ‘fan’ inside the iconic Mestalla for the Champions League clash between Valencia vs Atalanta despite the game being played behind closed doors.
The Champions League round of 16 second-leg tie in Spain is being played behind closed doors due to the coronavirus outbreak.
But there’s one supporter inside the ground in the shape of Vicente Navarro who was immortalised as a statue following his tragic death in 2017.
Navarro had his season ticket for years despite going blind in his 50s, but he kept his season ticket because he wanted to feel the atmosphere at the games.
And when he passed away, the club put a statue of him in his seat so he would forever be at Valencia’s matches.
