From
David Beckham to Mo Farah and Rafael Nadal to Cristiano Ronaldo, an
astonishing line up of sports stars have come together in solidarity for
the Paris terror victims.
A total of 52 stars including Wayne Rooney, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Andre Agassi, Maria Sharapova and Lionel Messi, all exclaiming 'Je Suis Paris,'
all featured in a video tribute to Paris terrorist victims, and it was
played on big screens before Ligue 1 side, PSG's match at the Parc de
Princes stadium last night.
The match was preceded by many tributes to the victims of the
attacks which killed 130 people in Paris, with a huge French flag on the
pitch and another formed by cards distributed to spectators.
The club anthem, 'O Ville Lumiere' and the French national
anthem were both played before a pre-match minute's silence, and PSG's
players again bore the slogan 'Je Suis Paris' on their shirts.
The tribute also saw a huge French flag unfurled across the middle
of the pitch, while fans behind had organised themselves in blocks of
blue, white and red to match the symbol of the Republic.
It can be recalled that on November 13, a football game was the
first of several targets in the city, with bombers detonating three
devices as a friendly between the French and German national teams.
