It's a hoax, it's about Pep Guardiola, coach of the soccer team Manchester City. The photograph is from 2016, when Pep Guardiola said goodbye to Bayern Munich, the team he coached from 2013 to 2016, and was taken by the photographer Kai Pfaffenbach from Reuters and published by El Confidencial. ![\\"\\"](\\" Furthermore, there is no body called "Hospital Department of Madrid\" in which a supposed doctor named Felipe Monterroso is found. It does not appear in the organizational chart of Madrid Salud or in that of the Service Madrid Health.
