This is, perhaps, one of the most beautiful images of the season. If the Getafe players lost (0-2) against Athletic Bilbao at the opening of the 34th day of La Liga, this Friday, the main thing surely happened during the pre-match. Indeed, when entering the pitch of the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, their enclosure, the eleven starters chosen by José Bordalas were not accompanied by children, as tradition dictates, but by… their mothers.
The most special moment 👏🏻 💙

Visibly very moved while holding the hands of their children, the latter were invited by the club from the Madrid suburbs on the occasion of Mother’s Day, which takes place this year on May 5 in Spain. An initiative aimed at creating “a unique image, never before seen in the world of football”, as the Spanish team explained in a press release published on its website.
“Eternal respect and gratitude to our mothers”
“A moment that will be unforgettable for everyone and with which Getafe CF wants to pay tribute to a key figure in football,” we can read. Being a player of the Azulón club carries a great responsibility, not only in football, since the club’s values are always exposed and defended, in any situation, by our footballers. Among them are the eternal respect and gratitude to our mothers, who have been with us since the first day, always attentive to us, without bargaining for a drop of effort and sacrifice. »
After entering the pitch with their sons, the mothers of all the players on the squad were able to pose for an original pre-match photo.
Beaten by Athletic Bilbao after having played 11 against 9, Getafe currently occupies 10th place in La Liga with four games remaining and hopes to finish the year in the top 10 for the first time in four seasons.
