Tragedy shocks soccer world

The soccer world mourned on Tuesday after a plane carrying a Brazilian team crashed in the mountains in Colombia, killing 71 people but miraculously leaving six survivors, officials said.

Soccer legends Pele and Maradona as well as current superstars Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo led tributes to the players of Chapecoense Real, a humble team whose march to glory was cut abruptly short.

Barcelona and Real Madrid held a minute of silence before their practice sessions during the day, and France's top two leagues observed be a minute's silence at Tuesday night's games.
