“UEFA will observe a moment of silence at all club competition matches this week in memory of the victims of the deadly floods in Valencia and all those affected in the region and beyond,” European football’s governing body said.

Champions League matches, including holders Real Madrid and Spain’s AC Milan, will be played on Tuesday and Wednesday, while Europa League and Conference League games will be played on Thursday.

Deadly floods in eastern Spain, which have killed at least 217 people, have already affected La Liga matches last weekend.

Madrid’s La Liga match at Valencia has been postponed, as has the league match between Villarreal and Rayo Vallecano.

At the opening of the Catalan derby, the players of Barcelona and Espanyol kept a minute of silence.

Barcelona has announced that it will auction the players’ shirts to raise funds for the victims.

The Spanish federation has already postponed several Copa del Rey first-round matches, including Valencia’s match against Parla Escuela.
