A minute's silence was observed by Spain during training in memory of those affected by the floods
The Spanish team observed a minute's silence during training on Tuesday in memory of those affected by the floods that have devastated the country in recent days.
The team gathered in a circle at their training base in Las Rozas, Madrid, and bowed their heads in silence for a minute.
The floods have caused widespread damage and loss of life in Spain, with at least 13 people confirmed dead and many more missing.
The team's captain, Sergio Ramos, said that the players were "deeply saddened" by the news of the floods.
"Our thoughts are with the victims and their families," he said.
The team's manager, Luis Enrique, said that the players were "determined to do everything they can to help those affected by the floods."
"We will be donating money to the relief effort and we will also be visiting some of the affected areas," he said.
The floods have caused widespread damage to homes, businesses, and infrastructure in Spain.
The government has declared a state of emergency in the affected areas and has deployed the military to help with the relief effort.
The floods are the worst to hit Spain in decades.
The team's training session was closed to the media, but the players posted a photo of themselves observing the minute's silence on social media.
The photo was accompanied by the message: "Our thoughts are with the victims and their families."
