Lamine shows solidarity with Urda tragedy victims

Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal expressed solidarity with victims of a train collision in Urda that killed 68 people; Copa del Rey fixtures postponed.

A train collision in Urda killed 68 people and injured over 80 on Wednesday morning, with two carriages derailing down an embankment. The crash involved two high-speed trains carrying more than 540 passengers and ranks among Spain's worst railway disasters in recent history.

Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal posted on Instagram: "My solidarity and support with all the families of the victims and those affected in the Urda tragedy. Much strength to everyone." Several other footballers also expressed their condolences throughout the day.

Out of respect, the Spanish Football Federation postponed all Copa del Rey fixtures scheduled for Wednesday.
