"The entire European football family will stand united on the pitch this week before our matches, in order to express our deepest sympathy and full support to the Japanese people, and we wish them continued strength in tackling the subsequent problems following the tragedy," UEFA president Michel Platini said Tuesday.

Football's European governing body said a minute's silence will be observed at four Champions League round of 16 second-leg games on Tuesday and Wednesday, eight Europa League round of 16 second-leg fixtures on Thursday and four women's Champions League quarter-final first-leg matches on Wednesday and Thursday.
