"I made a mistake and it's my responsibility," he said. I hope the team and the fans will forgive me. ”

The Colombian government and the international football community strongly condemned the incident and promised to strengthen the protection of footballers. However, Escobar's death remains a painful lesson that reminds us that football is not just a game, it is also about people's lives and safety.
The tragedy of Escobar teaches us that football and sport should not be channels of violence and intimidation, and that we should respect and protect the safety and dignity of athletes. His passing is also a reminder that we should learn to learn from our failures and mistakes and move on. His memory should forever be etched in the hearts of football fans, serving as a warning and inspiration to the sport of football.
No one will never make a mistake, and Colombia, having lost Escobar, may know more about cherishing and tolerating these warriors who fought on the green field.
