Every Champions League match this week will begin with a moment of silence to honour the victims of devastating flash floods in Nepal. UEFA, European football's governing body, also plans to show a banner saying "You are not alone Nepal" on each pitch. The floods, caused by a glacial collapse in August, have killed at least 1,355 people with nearly 5,000 still missing.
