The reason for the black armbands worn during the Galatasaray vs. Atletico Madrid match has been revealed

In the 7th week of the UEFA Champions League, Galatasaray hosted the Spanish side Atletico Madrid.

The teams took to the pitch for the match played at RAMS Park wearing black armbands due to the train accident that occurred in Spain.

Before the match, a moment of silence was held for the more than 40 people who lost their lives in the train accident in Spain. The entire stadium fell silent during the moment of silence.

The last three carriages of the high-speed train operated by the company Iryo, which was traveling from Malaga to Madrid with 317 passengers on board, derailed near the town of Adamuz in Cordoba on Sunday, January 18, at 19:39 local time (21:39 Turkish time), and at that moment, a train operated by the company Renfe, which was traveling in the opposite direction toward Huelva with 100 passengers, collided with the carriages that had overturned onto the tracks.
