Andrés Roca Rey, the renowned matador often referred to as the “Messi of matadors,” encountered a dangerous situation during a bullfight in Spain. According to reports, the 26-year-old matador was performing at the Santiago de Santander Fair on July 25 when a 1,100-pound bull unexpectedly charged at him, catching him off guard. As a result of the incident, Roca Rey sustained injuries during the show.
The video of the incident was captured at the Santiago de Santander Fair in Spain revealing the severity of the situation. As the bull charged at him, it hit Roca Rey’s thigh and propelled him into the side of the stadium. At one alarming moment, it seemed as though the bull’s horns made contact with the matador. The presence of other matadors in the ring was crucial in managing the situation and ensuring Roca Rey’s safety. Cayetano Rivera Ordoñez stepped in to distract the bull, allowing enough time for Roca Rey to be escorted to safety. Their swift action and teamwork were likely instrumental in preventing further harm to the matador.
