The match between Newcastle and Liverpool in the Premier League opened with a tribute to the former Ghanaian footballer, Christian Atsu, who lost his life in the tragic earthquake in Turkey.
After his death was confirmed, the former Chelsea player was honored at the stadium with a minute's silence in his honour.
The moment of the tribute was chilling as his wife Marie-Claire Rupio was also present in the stadium, accompanied by their children.
Also, the players of both teams applauded and the whole stadium stood up for Atsuna.
We recall that the 31-year-old has been part of several big teams such as Chelsea, Porto, Everton, Newcastle, etc.
