Caracas / Buenos Aires,
Argentine footballer Lucas Trejo has suffered an unimaginable tragedy after a powerful earthquake struck Venezuela, claiming the lives of his entire family. After a gruelling 74-hour search and rescue operation, emergency teams recovered the bodies of his wife, Yanina Maranilla, and their two young children, Aaron and Ainoa, from beneath the debris.
The heartbreaking news sent shockwaves through the football world. Trejo, who was away with his team at the time of the disaster, waited in anguish as rescue workers combed through the wreckage. When confirmation came after three agonising days, the footballer was left devastated and inconsolable.
The recent earthquakes in Venezuela have caused widespread destruction, reducing hundreds of buildings to rubble and leaving a rising death toll in their wake. Rescue operations remain ongoing, with dozens of individuals still reported missing across affected regions.
The global football community — players, clubs, and fans alike — flooded social media with messages of solidarity and grief, mourning alongside Trejo in what can only be described as an incomprehensible loss.
“No words can ease this pain. We stand with Lucas,” read one tribute from his club, reflecting the collective sorrow felt worldwide.
