Barcelona will hold a minute’s silence before their La Liga opener against Real Betis in memory of the victims of Thursday’s terror attack.

Lionel Messi led the tributes for the victims, and he was joined by Barca team-mates Luis Suarez and Gerard Pique, as well as Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos.
