'A sad day for the football family'

Chapecoense

Força Chapecoense.


A plane carrying Brazilian first-division club Chapecoense has crashed in Colombia, reportedly killing 75 of 81 passengers on board. Chapecoense was headed to Colombia to face Atlético Nacional in the first leg of the 2016 Copa Sudamericana final, which was considered the biggest match in club history. Chapecoense was writing a true fairytale, and they will never be forgotten.


This video in particular, tweeted by the official club account this morning, will live on forever. 

The caption is translated as: "This is the last image of our warriors."


Warriors, indeed. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by the tragedy.
