Heels, pipes, passes looking at the stretcher and in slow motion … Mudo Vázquez's bullfighting will remain forever in the collective memory of the Sevilla fans, part of which, however, consider that the footballer has passed through Sánchez-Pizjuán with more pain than glory. Next week, the club will pay tribute to him and all those leaving this coming summer, including also Czech goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik.
