Kike Mateu is a familiar face for football fans in Spain. He's a contributor on El Chiringuito de Jugones, the country's most popular nightly TV football show. But he's become even more well-known since contracting the coronavirus (COVID-19) while in Milan to report on the UEFA Champions League game between Atalanta and Valencia on February 19.
Mateu's trip to northern Italy for the match was like any other he has taken as part of his regular beat covering Valencia. He got on a flight from Valencia to Pisa, rented a car and drove three hours north to Milan for the match being played in the historic 80,000-seater San Siro Stadium.
