Overview

• The 46-year-old cut off his coleta at center stage moments after a two-ear award, then left on shoulders through the Puerta Grande.
• Earlier in the faena he suffered a violent fall from a Garcigrande bull, was attended near the burladero, returned to the ring, and finished with a full estocada.
• He dedicated his first bull to Madrid regional president Isabel Díaz Ayuso and his last to Vox leader Santiago Abascal, drawing attention to the evening’s political notes.
• The farewell followed a morning festival at Las Ventas honoring Antoñete, which Morante helped organize and where he cut an ear to an Osborne bull.
• Reports frame the retirement as the close of a standout 2025 run across major fairs, with background referencing his previously disclosed dissociative disorder and past electroconvulsive therapy.
