Posted Sunday, December 01, 2013 by Marca.com
The Real Madrid -Valladolid match was affected before the start by the news that the father of Portuguese player Fabio Coentrao had died. The news came barely one hour before the kick-off.
Both teams and their fans observed a respectful minute's silence in memory of Coentrao's father.
Fabio Coentrao, who has been out with the injury he sustained in the second leg World Cup qualifying play-off match in Sweden, departed for Portugal to say farewell to his father, who will be buried on Sunday afternoon in the Portuguese town of Caxinas.
