Young migrants accompanied Bayern Munich players onto the pitch and took center stage to the applause of 75,000 fans before a Bundesliga game on Saturday. The players each held hands with a German child on one side and a migrant child on the other for what the club described as “a symbol for the integration of refugees.” Some of the kids waved shyly to the crowd, while others simply soaked it all in, the culmination of trips fraught with danger. The children, whose nationalities were not disclosed, were applauded by fans of Bayern and opponent Augsburg alike.
