European Solidarity Cup: Real Madrid team up with Bayern and Inter to support coronavirus healthcare workers

Real Madrid have teamed up with Bayern Munich and Inter Milan for Covid-19 with the creation of the European Solidarity Cup.

The European giants have got together to organise the mini-competition, which will feature three fixtures in 2021, with the proceeds donated to the purchase of healthcare resources in Italy and Spain.

"The solidarity event will see three football matches held during 2021 in the cities of Madrid, Munich and Milan," Los Blancos said on their website on Tuesday.

Dates are still to be confirmed, but the fixtures will not take place until fans can be present in the stands.

"Healthcare staff who continue to fight the pandemic will be represented at all of the games.

"The three clubs wish to demonstrate to these heroes all of our solidarity, respect and gratitude," Madrid added.

Real vs Inter will be played in Madrid, while Inter and Bayern will meet in Milan and Bayern will host Madrid in Munich.
