The clubs that considered it were able to wear black bracelets in tribute to the Argentine legend.

Alexander Ceferin, president of the organization, made institutional statements for UEFA's social networks, in which he regretted the death of what is considered one of the best players of all time: “I am deeply saddened to hear the death of Diego Maradona, one of the greatest and most iconic figures in world football. He achieved greatness as a wonderful player as a genius and with his own charisma. “

“Diego Maradona was a hero in his native Argentina, with whom he enjoyed World Cup glory, and became an eternal idol for the Napoli fans, who will never forget the successes he brought to the club during his memorable time in Italy. He will go down in history as someone who ignited soccer and thrilled fans young and old with his brilliance and skill.“closes Ceferin.

Despite the moment of sadness prevailing in world football, Day 4 of the top competition on the European continent continued.
