Atlético de Madrid has achieved great feats in the Spanish league and with players who will remain to be remembered, as was the case with Valentín Jorge Sánchez, known in the world of football as Robi. Unfortunately, he has lost his life in recent hours, at the age of 72, after a life dedicated to sports.

One of the greatest feats that Valentín Jorge Sánchez had was to be champion with Atlético de Madrid, a team that entered his heart and until his last day he did not stop encouraging. In the 1977 season, Robi was a key piece for the Colchonero team to reach the national title, dominating the midfield.

Robi was led by the legendary coach, Luis Aragonés at Atlético de Madrid and that Spanish league championship has a special tinge because they achieved it at the Santiago Bernabéu itself. "Valentín Jorge Sánchez played 109 official matches with the rojiblanca shirt, defended the rojiblanca during 109 official matches and his plaque appears on the Paseo de los Centenarios", highlighted AS.
