I had just watched them play this past Sunday, as they happened to face Palmeiras during the game that sealed their (Palmeiras) Brazilian league win. It's such a likeable team.
The plane that crashed was the same one used to take the Argentinian national team to Brazil a couple of weeks ago for their World Cup qualifier against Brazil, by the way.
Chapecoense's opponent in what would have been the South American Cup final, Atletico Nacional, has been incredibly gracious. Its players have asked for the South American Confederation to proclaim the team as champions.
I'm really heartbroken over this story.
