A Sitness for Lucio: The Ex- footballer Battles Burns After a House Fire
Ex-Bundesliga athlete Lucio currently receiving medical attention following a fire incident
Hang tight for Lucio, the old-school Bundesliga champ! This former Bayern star has hit a snag – he's currently in the hospital due to burns suffered in a domestic accident. Though he's wide awake, the multidisciplinary team caring for him gives cause for concern[1][2][3].
Nurses and doctors at Hospital Brasilia are tending to the 47-year-old Lucio, a man who was known for his heart as a striker, even if he played defense[4]. This hard-headed defender had a reputation for those daring runs with the ball, going all the way from the back to the opposing team's penalty box[4]. Remember Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga back in 2001? That's where Lucio, whose full name is Lucimar da Silva Ferreira, made his mark[5].
With Lucio leading the way, they took home the silver medal that year, and they advanced to both the DFB-Pokal final and the Champions League final[5]. Lucio's fate soon changed, and in 2004, he found himself donning the colors of FC Bayern Munich[5]. This was the beginning of three times German Championship triumphs and three DFB Cup wins[5].
Lucio was a true citizen of the globe, with 105 caps for the Brazilian national team and a World Cup victory in 1998 against Germany[6]. Post-Germany, he continued to make history, winning the Champions League with Inter Milan back in 2010[6]. Their victory came in a nail-biting encounter against none other than FC Bayern[6].
We're keeping our fingers crossed for the tenacious defender who left the game in 2019 at the age of 41[5]. He has shown us time and again what a fighter he is, as he now faces his toughest challenge yet. Here's wishing a speedy recovery to Lucio!

Although Lucio, the defenseman from Brazilian national team and European leagues, including the Bundesliga and Serie A, is known for his exceptional football skills, he now battles severe burns sustained in a domestic accident. The medical team at Hospital Brasilia is gravely concerned with his condition as he recovers from this ordeal.
