A minute of silence preceded the start of the derby between Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid played at the Santiago Bernabéu, in memory of former basketball player Kobe Bryant, who died at the age of 41 last Sunday in a helicopter accident.
Next to whatever Los Angeles Lakers star also died his daughter Gianna, 13, and seven other people: John Altobelli, his wife Keri Altobelli and their daughter Alyssa Altobelli; Sarah Chester and daughter Payton; Christina Mauser; and Ara Zobayan, pilot of the wrecked helicopter.
The one on Saturday adds to the tribute that the Real Madrid players paid him in training on Monday, in which they kept a minute of silence to which the captain, Sergio Ramos, came out with the United States jersey that Bryant wore during his sports career, and the many memories that are being offered around the world.
