Uefa has insisted that its banner saying “Stop Killing Children — Stop Killing Civilians” at last night’s Super Cup between Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain was not a political message but about humanity.
The banner was shown before the match in Udine, Italy, and two Palestinian refugee children joined seven others from conflict zones in Afghanistan, Iraq, Nigeria and Ukraine at the opening ceremony.
A Uefa insider said the message was “not political but about humanity — in fact you could say it is just common sense”, and that it had been planned long before the Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah called out the European governing body last week on its tribute to a Palestinian footballer who was killed in an Israeli attack.
