After the tragedy suffered by Turkey and Syria In February, when a devastating earthquake left more than 50,000 dead and devastated areas, many countries provided immediate aid, such as Spain. Expressions of solidarity were greatly appreciated by both peoples, especially the Ottomans, who suffered the worst.
To continue to work with victims, the Atletico Madrid went to Istanbul on Wednesday to play with Besiktas at Vodafone Park. The entire collection went to the victims. 25,600 spectators gathered in the stadium, creating a great atmosphere. At the end of the clash, the fans of Águilas Negras offered an ovation to the mattress team.
And the matter did not stop there, because the messages of thanks to Atlético de Madrid on social networks have not changed since then. All you have to do is enter the club profiles to find hundreds of responses from Besiktas fans and Turks in general to see the endless love they express to the colchoneros.
They appreciate the fact of going to Istanbul during the day in the middle of the season to play the game, that they did it with all the players in the squad, the love shown by all the members of the expedition… Many assure that from now on, Atlético has another fan in Turkey.
The rojiblanco team lost on the pitch, but apart from not being the most important thing of the day, they gained a lot here: the recognition and love of the Turkish people.
