Emiliano Sala died on January 21, 2019 from a plane crash while joining his new team Cardiff from Nantes, who had just transferred him. Sol Bamba, a Cardiff defender at the time, reveals in an interview with a YouTube channel that he exchanged views with the former Argentine striker before the plane took off.
“We shared the same agent and he'd just signed for Cardiff, he'd come to visit the facilities for two-three days. When he flew back, we exchanged messages. He'd joke that the plane was having trouble getting off the ground, and that if we didn't hear from him in a few hours, he'd be at the bottom of the sea. He was just kidding, we were having fun. During the night, my agent called to tell me that his plane had disappeared, that it hadn't landed. It was around 3-4am,” recalls the former Ivorian international (51 caps).
