Neymar pays Chapecoense tribute on Clasico arrival

370

BARCELONA: Barcelona star Neymar honoured the 71 victims killed in a plane crash that wiped out most of the players and coaching staff of Brazilian side Chapecoense ahead of Saturday’s El Clasico against Real Madrid.

The Brazilian arrived at the Camp Nou with the shirt draped over his shoulder.

A minute’s silence will take place before kick-off for the biggest game in club football that will capture an estimated global audience of 650 million people.

Chapecoense were on their way to face Atletico Nacional in the Copa Sudamericana final when their plane crashed near Medellin in Colombia earlier this week.
