Victoria de Marichalar witnessed the serious goring suffered by her great friend Roca Rey on Sunday afternoon in the Plaza de Las Ventas, Madrid. Infanta Elena’s daughter, 24 years old, saw from the alley how the bull violently charged the Peruvian right-hander. He felt so much anguish that he covered his face with his jacket and turned around so as not to see the brutal beating that Roca Rey received in the ring.
Despite the horrifying catch, the bullfighter stood up again and finished the task, cutting off an ear from Fuente Ymbro’s bull. Immediately afterwards, he went to the infirmary, where he had to undergo emergency surgery under general anesthesia. Later, he was transferred by ambulance to the Fraternidad-Muprespa Havana Hospital.
According to the medical report published by Las Ventas, Roca Rey has a “bull horn wound on the back of his right thigh with two paths, one forward, 15 centimeters long and which causes damage to the hamstring muscles and bruises the sciatic nerve, and another inward, another 15 centimeters, which causes damage to the gluteus maximus muscle.
Victoria went to Las Ventas with her friend Tomás Páramo and Pablo Castellano, MarÃa Pombo’s husband, but she continued the work alongside the Madrid model Iván Bernabé, known for having been the partner of Claudia, daughter of former Real Madrid footballer Fernando Hierro.
Roca Rey, who shared the bill on this day of the Las Ventas Autumn Fair with Paco Ureña and VÃctor Hernández, maintains a good friendship with Victoria. In fact, rumors arose some time ago about a possible romance between them, something that the bullfighter denied. in a sincere interview given to ¡HOLA! magazine. “Vic and I are great friends,” he clarified.
Their friendship is so close that Infanta Elena’s daughter traveled to Peru at the end of 2023 so as not to miss the right-hander’s American debut. Accompanied by her friends Tomás Páramo and MarÃa GarcÃa de Jaime, she attended the one-on-one match between the man from Lima and JoaquÃn Galdós at the Acho Fair, a celebration that continued with the bullfighter’s mother, MarÃa Mercedes Valdez.
