Madril "Real" president Florentino Perez did not hesitate for a long time whom to dedicate the triumph in the UEFA Champions League final to.
The leader of the royal team recalled a terrorist attack that shook the football world a few weeks ago, when 16 fans of the team were killed in Iraq.
"We want to dedicate this victory to the fans we lost a few weeks ago in Iraq," Perez said.
Let's remind that on May 13 horrifying news was reported - during the terrorist attacks, 16 "White" team Iraqi fans were shot dead and another 20 suffered various injuries.
According to foreign media, the heinous attack was carried out by a group of ISIS terrorists. The president of the Iraqi supporters club said after the incident that a group of men stormed into the cafe and fired their guns at everyone in the building.
According to the mentioned president, this attack was planned because the terrorists believe that football is an anti-Muslim activity.
However, this did not break the Real fans and yesterday they released a video celebrating the team's success in the Champions League final.
