Real Madrid has expressed its deepest condolences to the people of Colombia following a powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake that struck the country on Monday. The club, along with its president and board of directors, offered their support to the families of those who lost their lives and wished a swift recovery to those injured.

The earthquake, which had its epicenter near San Jose del Palmar in Choco province, was felt across a significant portion of Colombia, including major cities such as Bogota, Cali, Pereira, and Manizales. Reports indicate that at least 77 people have lost their lives in the disaster, while many others were injured. The tremor caused buildings to collapse, leaving individuals trapped under rubble and triggering extensive rescue efforts.

Several regions, such as Manizales, Pereira, Cali, and Manizales, were particularly severely affected by the earthquake. Numerous airports in the country also suspended operations due to concerns over potential damage. Fortunately, there were no reports of a tsunami triggered by the earthquake.

Real Madrid's statement conveyed their solidarity with the victims and the Colombian people, assuring them of their love and support during this challenging time. As rescue teams continue to work in the affected areas, authorities are working to assess the full extent of the damage caused by the earthquake.
