Atlético Nacional has asked CONMEBOL to give the Copa Sudamericana title to Chape.

 

Brazilian teams like Corinthians, Flamengo and Palmeiras are asking CBF to follow some measures in order to relief this tragic news. Among them: free loan of players for the 2017 season and "immunity" in the next three Brazilian championships (meaning they couldn't be relegated to Series B even if they finish among the last four teams).

 

Through social media, clubs and fans are suggesting that people vote for the goalkeeper Danilo as the best player of Brasileirao 2016. Champion Palmeiras (who won the title in a match against Chape just two days ago) wants to play the last match of the championship wearing Chape's jersey.

 

Copa do Brasil final and last round of Brazilian championship have been moved for next week.

All those photos of hundreds/thousands of fans near the stadium are very sad of course, but I gotta say that one of the most touching photos I've seen this year only has one person on it...

My supported club has asked and obtained (from Lega A) a minute of silence before the match of Italy Cup (at home, Grande Torino stadium) and has played with the black armbands.
