Former Real Madrid player Jose Maria Zarraga, who won five European Cups with the club between 1956 and 1960, died on Tuesday at the age of 81. The Basque midfielder played for Madrid from 1949 to 1962 and also won six La Liga titles, one Spanish Cup and one Intercontinental Cup. Zarraga played alongside such greats as Alfredo Di Stefano and Ferenc Puskas, and won eight international caps for Spain.
Madrid's players will wear a black armband as a mark of respect in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Cypriot side APOEL at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu later on Wednesday.
