Overview

  • The 46-year-old was violently gored during his final performance, received assistance, returned to the ring, and completed a faena that earned two ears.
  • A full house in Madrid carried him on their shoulders to the Puerta Grande, with reports placing attendance at roughly 23,000.
  • He dedicated his first bull to Madrid regional president Isabel Díaz Ayuso, telling her, “This is for you and for what you defend; you are brave.”
  • He also dedicated his last bull to Vox leader Santiago Abascal before coming back from the blow to finish the decisive faena.
  • Coverage notes a standout 2025 campaign across major plazas and recalls his earlier disclosures about a dissociative disorder and electroshock therapy as context for the moment.
