Oooh, boy! Former Bundesliga standout Lucio's taken a scorching lick. This 47-year-old footballing legend's currently battling burns following a house fire. The blaze reportedly stemmed from an explosion of an ecological chimney that'd been fueled by the green goodness of bioethanol. Yikes!
While Lucio's remained conscious, those moody medical tales ain't looking so promising. Guess who's got their hands full? Yup, a multi-specialty medical team's providing the former defender with much-needed burn care, along with intensive monitoring.
Back in the day, Lucio forged his career as a massive Bundesliga character, donning the jersey for Bayer Leverkusen for a spell. With the Werkself, he stomped his way to a 2002 runner-up title, poked his nose into the DFB-Pokal final and the Champions League final, and ultimately sashayed his way to Bayern Munich in 2004. It's here that he glocalized his trophy collection with three German championships and three DFB Cups.
Lucio, whose full moniker's Lucimar da Silva Ferreira, earned a whopping 105 caps for the Brazilian national team. The man with the heart of a tiger and the moves of a centaur embarked upon the world stage in 1994, only tasting victory on home soil 16 years later with a 2:0 clobbering of the Germans in the World Cup finale. Once he bid Germany adieu in 2010, Lucio lifted the Champions League trophy with Inter Milan in a dramatic final haddie against you-know-who.
Luc Santo Amigo, a patient and powerful beast on the field, was known for his electrifying, albeit risky, dashes through enemy territory with the ball. Blessed with unruly locks and an insatiable wrestler's drive, Lucio finally hung up his boots in 2019.
But now, things are heating up off the field...and not in a good way. Our dude's recuperating in intensive care in Brasilia, and while the burn severity hasn't been disclosed, we're keeping our smokestacks crossed that he pulls through this inferno.
