Nepal is going through difficult times, as the country is reeling from deadly floods, which have claimed the lives of nearly 1,500 people so far, while 5,000 are still missing.
In a statement, UEFA emphasized that it stands with the country as it faces this tragedy, noting that a one-minute silence will be observed before every Champions League match in honor of the victims. At the same time, it expressed its deep sorrow and solidarity with the families of those who lost their lives.
