How a Goalie Helped Rescue a Stricken Spectator
RAINBOW SHOWERS
The European football pitch is often the scene of bitter rivalries and even violence between fans, but spectators at a 2022 match between the Spanish professional football clubs FC Barcelona and Cadiz CF witnessed an entirely different kind of drama. The match was suspended when a spectator in the end zone collapsed. As medical staff rushed to help, the goalie for Cadiz broke from his position, raced to his team’s dugout, retrieved a medical kit with a defibrillator, sprinted back toward the scene, and tossed the kit to the medics. Thanks in part to the defibrillator, which medics used to resuscitate the victim, he was safely transferred to a nearby hospital.
Grilled Steak With Chimichurri Sauce
Many onlookers credit Cadiz’s goalie, Jeremias Ledesma, with averting a tragedy.
It is hard to tell who will step up in a crisis and who will freeze. People who are normally empathetic may shrink back, while sometimes introverts dive in to help, surprising even themselves. Those who respond heroically tend to be hopeful people who take charge in difficult situations — traits professional soccer goalies clearly need. People who step up to help others also tend to have a strong sense of responsibility, another requirement of keepers. The coach of the rival team praised Ledesma’s quick thinking. “We’re talking about a human life, and any human life is above a soccer game,” Barcelona’s coach, Xavi Hernandez, was quoted as saying. Only after the spectator was revived and en route to the hospital did the teams agree to resume the game. Although Cadiz lost the match 4-0, Cadiz fans went home with a different kind of win — global recognition of their goalkeeper’s good deed. Video of Ledesma’s quick response quickly went viral, earning “massive respect” from commenters and worldwide plaudits for heroism.
