PSG to honour fallen athletes with black armband vs. Chelsea

Paris Saint-Germain announced they will wear black armbands during their Champions League match against Chelsea to honour the French athletes that died in a helicopter crash Monday.

Three of the country's athletes passed away when two helicopters carrying them collided in mid-air and crashed to the ground shortly after takeoff.

Sailor Florence Arthaud, Olympic gold medal-winning swimmer Camille Muffat and Olympic boxer Alexis Vastine were taking part in a French reality show called "Dropped" when the accident occurred in Argentina.

"Parisian players will wear a black armband in order to pay a tribute to the victims involved in the terrible crash that hit French sport last night in Argentina," the club said in a statement.

Eight French nationals and two Argentinian pilots lost their lives in the crash. There were no survivors.
