Footballer Correa saved his daughter from a bear: video of the incident.

The situation of the English forward Correa

According to The Sun: Former Atletico Madrid striker Angel Correa experienced a tense moment when a bear approached him and his young daughter. He stepped back, holding the child tightly in his arms.

The Argentine was shocked to find the animal near his home in Monterrey, Mexico, where he now plays for Tigres UANL.

Correa's wife, Sabrina Di Marco, filmed the incident and posted it on her social media.

As a father of three, Correa, who joined the Mexican club in July after over ten years in Spain, was tightly holding his two-year-old daughter Lia as the bear approached them.

Only realizing that the bear had no intention of attacking, he stopped and turned to his wife with a sheepish smile.

Lia seemed completely calm and was smiling brightly for the camera, which Sabrina captioned:

“Someone came to visit us”

One of the locals joked:

“Welcome to Monterrey, Angel.”

Another, more seriously stated:

“He did exactly the opposite of what should be done in such situations. The bear is faster and stronger than people, and bears that come down from the mountains are wild animals.”

Also, former Manchester City defender Martin Demichelis encountered a bear near his home when he lived in Mexico last December.

The animal was spotted wandering through his garden before it ran away when the former footballer approached it with his family.

Demichelis's wife, Evangelina Anderson, who recently confirmed her divorce from her husband, could be heard scolding one of the children, saying:

“He is huge. Don’t go near him.”

This incident sparked discussions online and drew attention to the dangers that can arise from being close to wild animals. Bears are generally not aggressive, but encounters with them can be dangerous, especially when it comes to children. Experts say it is important to exercise caution and not approach wild animals to avoid stressful situations for all involved.
