Luck eluded Seville's Juan Ortega in the penultimate bullfight at Mont de Marsan.

The penultimate bull from Mont de Marsan had its first box office triumph. The "No Tickets" notice posted days before the event marked a heightened expectation that translated into disappointment at the end of the bullfight, as the lack of stamina and breed of the El Parralejo bulls affected the matadors' work and triumph. Clemente left his best performance against the sixth, in which he could have walked away with a trophy had it not been for the placement of the sword. It was a hopeless afternoon for Juan Ortega and Roca Rey on the afternoon of the packed 2025 Madeleine Fair, according to the report published in 'Mundotoro'.

Although the sixth bull, black, tall, and well-built, was nothing special, it moved more than the other five, allowing Clemente to perform a classic faena, peppered with a few touches of class and finished with luquesinas. The bull's lack of transmission prevented the performance from taking off. Clemente went straight to the kill, his sword falling slightly low, which prevented the awarding of the trophy. Applause.

The third bull didn't break before reaching the muleta, but Clemente didn't hesitate: he started with right-handed passes in the very center of the ring, stringing together three good series and another on the left . With the bull fading, the performance slowed down without losing its interest. He killed with a rear-end thrust and saluted after a request.

The second bull came out with a good stride and measured strength. Clemente performed a good pass, to which Roca Rey responded . Giving the bull plenty of pause, Roca Rey administered the animal in a neat and measured performance, beginning on his knees and finishing close up. Despite having the crowd in his favor, he was unable to raise his level as it was impossible to press the bull . He killed with a thrust and saluted from the third ring after a request.

The fifth, tall and full of substance, saw Roca Rey step out from under the cape. He pushed the bull with his spears and placed his head well on the left horn . He suffered a slight tumble under the banderillas.

Roca offered his all to the crowd, but he found himself challenged by the bull's lack of strength and breed . He managed to draw a series of well-drawn natural passes and killed with a full-throated thrust. Applause.

The first, a full-bodied chestnut, made a sudden jump in the cape. He was brave in two encounters with the horse, losing his hands at the end. He lost them again in the opening stages of the faena. Ortega went for both horns, with the animal pointing with the right and lowering his head with the left. He shortened his attack as the bull weakened. A stab followed. Silence.

The fourth, a peachy bull with a broad face, came out noble but lacked much stamina and took three puyazos at the start. He lost his grip early in the bullfight and offered no chance to Juan Ortega , who, after going on both horns, abbreviated with good judgment, puncturing, putting in and taking out, and finishing. Silence.
