Real Madrid legend Alfredo Di Stefano, regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, has died.
The 88-year-old suffered a heart attack on Saturday and had been in an induced coma in Madrid's Gregorio Maranon hospital.
Real Madrid confirmed the news, saying Di Stefano, their honorary president, died at 1715 CET (1615 BST).
A forward, he won five straight European Cups, scoring in each final between 1956 and 1960.
Real president Florentino Perez said he and the club's board would 'like to express deepest condolences and all their love and affection to his children, their families and friends'.
The Argentina-born player also won eight Spanish league titles and was voted European player of the year in 1957 and 1959.
