The beautiful game shows its true beauty during this time of tragedy.

Seventy-six people are dead following the plane crash that occurred outside of Medellin this morning.  Jose Gerardo Acevedo, the regional police commander, told local media: "Six people were rescued alive, but unfortunately one died. The rest of the occupants unfortunately died". The charter plane was carrying 81 passengers - including players from Brazilian soccer team Chapecoense, journalists and nine crew members - before it tragically crashed near Rionegro, according to the country's civil aviation department.
The civil aviation agency had initially announced that six passengers - three players, two crew members, and one journalist - survived the crash but as mentioned, one of those survivors tragically died on the way to the hospital. In this terrible moment of grief, various clubs and players from around the world have expressed their deepest sympathy to those that lost their lives. Forca Chapecoense.
