Maria Angeles “Pitina” Sandoval, the wife of Real Madrid’s president Florentino Perez, has passed away (reportedly from lung cancer which she has been struggling with for the past few years). She was 65. While she had been ill for awhile, her death was unexpected as they thought that she was in remission. They had been married for 42 years. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time.

It could have been such a great year and then it ended up like this. I feel so sad for the family 😦

How very sad for Florentino and his family. She was at the final match and celebrations, so this must have been unexpected. RIP Pitina.
Very sad to hear the news about the passing of the Prez’s wife. Our Prayers are with our Supremo Florentino Perez, his Family and All the “Madridista Family” as we are officially mourning one of our own. “Behind every great man there’s a great woman”. RIP Pitina.
Oh wow had no idea she was ill. RIp and my prayers go to Mr. Perez and their family.
RIP.
How sad for the RM family. I’m sure the team members have extended their support in the Perez family’s time of need. We need to find a way to beat cancer once and for all.
You know, she and Flo look alike and have the same smile.
Godspeed, Senora Pitina.
so awful. 😦 RIP.
My heart goes out to the family, especially our dear Flo Peezy. To be parted from our loved ones is a terrible thing, but we must hold hope that we will see them again someday. Cancer is never easy, I hope that she now rests peacefully.
