Real Madrid legend rushed to hospital urgently

The global football community has just received worrying news as a Real Madrid legend was urgently hospitalized for surgery after a serious cardiovascular issue was detected.

According to reports from Spanish media, Roberto Carlos was initially admitted to the hospital due to a small blood clot in his leg. However, further in-depth medical examinations revealed a more concerning condition. Doctors performed a full-body MRI and discovered an additional heart abnormality, prompting the medical team to decide on an emergency surgical intervention.

The surgery was originally planned to last about 40 minutes. However, unexpected complications extended the procedure to nearly three hours. This heightened the anxiety of fans worldwide as they followed the health status of one of the greatest icons in modern football history. Fortunately, the surgery was successful, and the former star is now in the recovery phase.

According to information from family members, Roberto Carlos is currently confirmed to be in stable condition and not in any life-threatening danger. He will continue to be monitored by doctors in the hospital for 48 hours as a precaution to ensure a smooth recovery process.

Roberto Carlos is a name closely associated with the glorious memories of Real Madrid as well as the Brazil national team. Over 11 years with the Spanish royal club, he played 527 matches, contributing significantly to four La Liga titles and three Champions League trophies. His fast-paced play, all-around defensive and offensive skills, and signature free kicks made Roberto Carlos one of the best left-backs of all time.

At the national team level, Roberto Carlos was a key player in Brazil’s 2002 World Cup triumph. That same memorable year, he finished as runner-up in the Ballon d’Or race, confirming his outstanding influence and elite status on the global football stage.
