The European Champions League is in solidarity with the victims of the earthquake in Syria and Turkey

ARK News… The clubs that competed on Tuesday evening in the first leg of the final price of the European Champions League, stood in solidarity with the victims of the devastating earthquake that struck northwestern Syria and southern Turkey last week.

In Paris, the players of Paris Saint-Germaine and Bayern Munich, as well as thousands of fans, observed a minute of silence for the souls of the earthquake victims, in the implementation of the instructions of the European Football Association.

In the second match, which brought together the Italian clubs AC Milan and Totten Ham Hotspur, the clamor of the San Siro stadium turned into complete silence, as boys carried a banner that read in Arabic and Turkish: “We are all with you,” as the players descended to the field.

The European Football Association (UEFA) announced earlier that it had donated 200,000 euros in principle to help the earthquake victims in Syria and Turkey.

UEFA President Alexander Schifrin said: "This initial donation comes as a rapid humanitarian response, offering assistance to this appalling tragedy."
