At the end of Sunday’s day, a video went viral where former Real Madrid player, Sergio Arribas, avoided a tragedy in the Maldives by saving a couple of tourists from drowning in the sea.
Now in Almería, Arribas is in the Maldives with his wife Ana Martín enjoying the holidays. In the video that has gone viral, you can see how the footballer enjoys the company of his wife in the hotel pool.
Hearing desperate cries for help, they both went to rescue the couple, who were on the beach that connects with the pool. In fact, the 22-year-old midfielder used a slide to quickly reach the area of the beach where they were.
The incident spread quickly and the video spread like wildfire on social media. Arribas has earned hundreds of positive comments thanks to his actions. “Bravo Sergio. A true hero”; “These things are what should go viral. Great Sergio”; “A superhero,” were some reactions.
Who is Sergio Arribas?
Born in Madrid in September 2001, he began his career in 2007 at the Pérez Galdós club. Subsequently, he left in 2010 for Deportivo Leganés.
In 2012 he signed for the Real Madrid youth teams. There, he went through almost all categories, from youth to the first team, when he debuted at the age of 18 in 2020. The lack of space in a team full of stars led him to be a fundamental piece of an Almería that this year could not save yourself from relegation.
