The tribute to Franz Beckenbauer before the match between "Real" and "Atletico" did not go as planned.

Before the match, a minute of silence for the football legend was met with loud booing. At first, football fans speculated that this could be due to Germany's opposition to Saudi Arabia and their traditions, considering the last World Cup. In this case, even Toni Kroos could not avoid the booing after every touch of the ball.

The truth, however, is that the minute of silence simply goes against the traditions of Saudi Arabia. This does not reflect the country's culture, a local journalist commented on the situation.

On Sunday, Franz Beckenbauer, who arrived in Anapilis, is one of the greatest defenders of all time.
