Alfredo Di Stéfano has passed away at the age of 88.
Di Stéfano helped lead Real Madrid to five straight European Cups between 1956 and 1960.
Di Stéfano played at international level for three countries but never appeared at the World Cup.
The former Argentina, Colombia and Spain international suffered a cardiac arrest in the street near Real Madrid’s Bernabéu stadium on Saturday – the day after his birthday – and had been in an induced coma in intensive care at Gregorio Marañon hospital. Di Stéfano was attended to by emergency medical services before being transferred to hospital. The cardiac arrest lasted 18 minutes, according to the emergency services.
