The Catalan club paid tribute to the Barcelona terror attack victims at a training session
The Barca Squad and playing staff observed respectful minute’s silence at training following a radical Islamic terror attack later claimed by ISIS
The Camp nou players and coaching staff held a minute’s silence before training on Friday in respect to the victims and families of the Barcelona terror attack in the city.
At least 13 people have been reported dead in the Barcelona terror attack and many were injured on Thursday when a van ran into pedestrians in the city’s busy tourist area of Las Ramblas.
Barca had already confirmed that players of all their teams would wear black armbands in respect to the victims of the Barcelona terror attack, during games this weekend – the senior squad kicked-off their La Liga campaign against Real Betis at the Nou Camp on Sunday – and a minute’s silence will be held at matches all across Spain.
The cover of sport papers in Spain on Friday afternoon were rightfully dominated by the Barcelona terror attack on the streets, with Marca writing: ‘Today, we cannot speak about sport’ and Mundo Deportivo leading with ‘Horror’.
The Catalan club also showed their support for those affected by the Barcelona terror attack on Friday morning, with players and staff standing in a semi-circle in the club’s training ground while also holding a minute’s silence. Barca then tweeted a short video of the tribute along with the TotsSomBarcelona (we are all Barcelona) hashtag.
