Madrid – The football world is in shock as Real Madrid and superstar Kylian Mbappé officially called on all competitions, from the Champions League to domestic leagues, to hold a minute of silence before each match in memory of Charlie Kirk – the founder of Turning Point USA, who was assassinated during an event in Utah.
This call has quickly spread, creating a powerful wave of unity across international football. Players, coaches, and fans from around the globe have expressed their support, viewing this not only as a tribute but also as a strong message against the rise of political violence.
In a statement with Real Madrid, Mbappé declared: “Football is not just a sport, it is a common voice for humanity. Honoring Charlie Kirk is our way of standing together to defend the values of freedom and human dignity.”
Sources reveal that several major European clubs are considering joining the movement. If widely embraced, this would mark the first time the global football community unites to honor a figure outside of the sport, highlighting the far-reaching impact of this tragedy.
The movement is being hailed as a rare moment where football becomes a bridge, uniting millions of hearts worldwide with a shared message of peace and solidarity.
