The last day of the football league season in Brazil and Chapecoense’s stadium remained empty.<br /><br /> But across the country teams and fans came together to pay tribute to the small club which lost most of its players and officials in a plane crash in Colombia last month.<br /><br /> Each in their own way commemorated their fallen colleagues – a minutes silence, the names of the victims printed on shirts, even bank details put on display where people can make donations.<br /><br /> The message “Somos chape” was held aloft on placards and flags. It evoked the “Je suis Charlie” slogan in a show of solidarity with all 71 people who died in the crash as well as the six survivors.<br /><br /> The new season starts in late January with Chapecoense somehow hoping to rebuild and move on from the tragedy.<br />
