The suspense, tension and agitation around the La Liga match this Saturday evening benefited two Valencia inmates.
An escape like we normally only see in films. This Saturday evening, two Spanish prisoners aged 43 and 39 escaped from their prison in Picassent, near Valencia.

In addition, they took advantage of the commotion caused by the other inmates who were passionately following the intense match between Barça and Atlético de Madrid to escape discreetly.
A match of crazy suspense and multiple twists and turns which saw the victory, at the end of stoppage time, for Atlético de Madrid. And, obviously, even the prison officials were caught up in the mood of the match since they did not hear the inmates tearing bars from their windows and then sneaking into the dark areas of the prison to escape the security systems. alarm before forcing a sliding door and regaining freedom.
Both inmates have long criminal records and were held in the unit for prisoners convicted of serious crimes.
The fugitives could be armed
According to Las Provincias, the local newspaper, it was a Guardia Civil patrol that spotted the escape during a surveillance tour outside the prison complex.
Both inmates were still in their cells during the last count at 9 p.m., just as the football match was starting.
Sentenced to heavy sentences, the fugitives are considered dangerous and potentially armed. Checks have been put in place in the area to try to find them.
