One of the greatest Spanish players of all time is Gento.
Francisco 'Paco' Gento was a Real Madrid and Spain legend.
Gento is the only player to have won six European Cups.
The left-winger made 600 appearances for the club and scored 182 goals as he helped them to 12 league crowns, two Copa del Rey titles and one Intercontinental Cup.
He played in the 1962 and 1966 World Cup for Spain.
His club record of 23 trophies, which stood for over 50 years, was equalled on Sunday by Real captain Marcelo when he came on as a substitute in the club's Spanish Super Cup-winning victory.
Gento began his career at Racing Santander before moving to Madrid.
"Real Madrid would like to express its sympathies and its love and affection to his wife Mari Luz, his sons Francisco and Julio, his granddaughters Aitana and Candela and all his relatives, colleagues and loved ones," Real said in a statement.
He is one of the greatest football players of all time.
