Prior to kick-off in the clash between Real Madrid and Milan, the Santiago Bernabéu paid an emotional tribute to the victims of the DANA storm that has rocked parts of Spain, most notably in the Valencian Community. Players from both teams took to the pitch wearing t-shirts printed with the message: “Todos somos Valencia” (We are all Valencia) in Spanish and Italian, as well as wearing black armbands.
The fans also showed their support for those affected, holding a minute's silence. In the west stand, a large Valencian Community flag was unfurled, while the south stand held aloft a huge “Todos somos Valencia” banner. The 360º video scoreboard also displayed the message “We are all Valencia. May they rest in peace."
