This is so sad. I hope the little boy brings his mother lots of joy and fulfillment.

How old was he? That is so Sad

Angela’s note: He was 22, it should say it in the post hopefully.

i heard that Antonio had already picked the name Aitor out for his son. Glad his partner named the baby Aitor.

Congratulations to Mar and Antonio for their new bundle of joy (even though Antonio is no longer with us) I hope that when Aitor gets older that he plays for Sevilla. May god bless baby Aitor and his mother.
