In what was a rare move, UEFA displayed a banner that read “Stop killing children - Stop killing civilians” before the Super Cup final between PSG and Tottenham at the Stadio Friuli in Udine, Italy, on Wednesday. UEFA also had two refugee children from Gaza involved in the medal ceremony. The gesture comes after UEFA was criticised by Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah for not being specific about the killing of Suleiman al-Obeid, known as the “Pele of Palestinian football”, in an Israeli attack while waiting for humanitarian aid in the southern Gaza Strip last week. Champions League holders PSG were the eventual winners of the contest, beating Tottenham 4-3 on penalties after coming back from 2-0 down in 90 minutes.
