"A message and a heart": Yamal shows solidarity with the families of the victims of the "train disaster"

Dozens dead and injured

Lamine Yamal has expressed his solidarity with the victims of the train accident in Urda, a tragedy whose impact has reached the world of football.

The crash, which struck yesterday morning in Urda, sent shockwaves across the country and shook football to its core. In solidarity with the victims, organisers postponed all Copa del Rey matches scheduled for Wednesday.

Footballers lined up to offer their condolences, and the Barcelona star was among them.

Writing on Instagram, Lamine said: "My solidarity and support to all the families of the victims and those affected by the Urda disaster.. all support and strength to everyone.." He accompanied the message with a heart emoji.

Two high-speed trains collided, leaving dozens dead and injured. Two carriages tumbled down a slope on impact.

More than 540 people were on board the two trains. It ranks as one of the worst accidents in the history of modern Spanish railways.
