Madrid: Real Madrid paid tribute to the Nepal flood victims and landslides in Nepal. Real Madrid players and staff observed a minute's silence at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium ahead of the match. The disaster has left 788 people dead and thousands missing. Real Madrid also shared an official message, "Standing with Nepal," expressing solidarity with the people of Nepal who are suffering.
Barcelona also observed a minute's silence for the victims of the Nepal floods during their match two days ago. As the heavy loss of life and damage continues in Nepal, many major football clubs around the world have come out in solidarity with the country. Previously, Real Madrid expressed their condolences and paid tribute to the victims during the devastating earthquake that struck Nepal in 2015.
According to the National Disaster Management Authority, about 9,500 people have been rescued from the affected areas so far. But more than 2,500 people are still missing. Floods caused widespread damage in cities and villages in north-central Nepal on Wednesday after an avalanche on the Nepal-Tibet border.
As the water level of the Bhotekoshi River, which flows south from the Himalayan border region, rose, the floodwaters swept away houses, vehicles, roads and bridges, and caused extensive damage to hydroelectric projects.
Real Madrid continues stellar run
Real Madrid continued their impressive run of form with a 4-0 win over Malaga in a La Liga match played after paying tribute to the victims. Superstars Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe scored for Real, who are in great form in the league under new coach Jose Mourinho.
Real Madrid took control of the game in the first half on Sunday, scoring three goals in just 10 minutes. In addition to goals from Bellingham and Mbappe, an own goal from Malaga goalkeeper Alfonso Herrero also gave Real the lead. Youngster Arda Güler scored the fourth goal in the final minutes to complete the victory (4-0).
