Valencia players and fans show support for Lyuboslav Penev

Valencia players wore T-shirts with inscription “Lubo, Lubo” in support of Lyuboslav Penev, who is fighting cancer.

The players expressed their sympathy for the former top scorer, who played 199 games with the Spanish club, before the first referee’s signal of the match against Sevilla in the 16th round of La Liga. The fans joined in with choreography in honour of the Bulgarian, chanting his name.

The Spanish teams of Atlético Madrid, Valencia, Celta Vigo and Compostela, in which Lyuboslav Penev played, have taken on the task of collecting 300,000 euros for the costly surgical procedure needed by the former Bulgarian national team player, ABC wrote, quoted by BTA.
