La Liga giants Real Madrid have forwarded a message of strength and support the way of Bayern Munich star Sven Ulreich this weekend.
This comes after the goalkeeper was forced to come to terms with the passing of his son.
Ulreich took to his official Instagram account on Friday, to reveal some heartbreaking personal news.
As much saw the 36-year-old announce that his six-year-old son, Len, recently passed away following a lengthy battle with illness.
