Santi Cazorla brings football fans to tears with amazing gesture to family of 14-year-old fan killed in road accident
Ex-Arsenal star gave them his Villarreal shirt and posed for photographs after the 2-2 draw with Rayo Vallecano
SANTI CAZORLA reduced fans to tears with an incredible gesture to the family of a 14-year-old supporter that died in a road accident.
The former Arsenal star, 33, gave them his shirt after the match, posed for photographs with them and even signed some memorabilia.
Fans and players at the La Liga match came together to pay tribute to Rayo Vallecano supporter Jorge Munoz.
The teenager tragically died this week after he was run over in the Entrevias neighbourhood, Madrid.
After the 2-2 draw, Cazorla was snapped giving his shirt to Munoz's parents, who were stood in the stands.
He then stood topless on the pitch as the emotional supporters took their chance to get a photograph with him.
Fans praised the 33-year-old for his actions after the final whistle, with some even claiming his kindness made them cry.
One said: "Great touch, Cazorla is a person more than a footballer, an example for many. It brought me to tears. A hug for the family and rest in peace!"
Another added: "Great from Santi. One of those footballers who you always like."
Rayo Vallecano stars Alex Galvez and Javi Guerra kindly left a signed shirt and a bouquet of flowers on Munoz's normal seat at the stadium.
And the fans held a minute's silence during the first minute of the match to pay their respects to the teenager and his family.
Cazorla came on the pitch as a late substitute in the clash just moments after Nicola Sansone scored the equaliser.
