On the 81st minute, the match against Fútbol Club Barcelona was stopped due to a health alert in the south end stands. The protocol established with Cruz Roja quickly came into operation, assisting a man in cardiac arrest.
One of the medical teams went to the stands with a defibrillator and a monitor, starting the resuscitation tasks. At the same time, FC Barcelona offered a second defibrillator in case its use was necessary, and it was brought to the area by the players themselves.
The resuscitation was positive after a few minutes, and the fan was transferred to the ICU of the Hospital Puerta del Mar, where he remains hospitalized.
In addition, one of the Tribune camera operators suffered a fainting spell, which was also quickly treated by the stadium's medical staff without further consequences.
The organization would like to thank the exemplary behavior of the fans in the south end of the stadium for this situation, as well as the security staff and Cruz Roja for their quick action to ensure that this incident had a happy ending.
