VIDEO: Chapecoense return to Medellin, the scene of the tragic plane crash which devastated the club

The Brazilian side take on Atletico Nacional in the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana - six months after the heartbreaking air disaster

Chapecoense have returned to Medellin, the scene of the heartbreaking plane crash which devastated the club in November, ahead of their Recopa Sudamericana match against Atletico Nacional.

The Brazilian outfit had to rebuild their side after most of their team were killed in the air disaster - along with members of the staff - with 71 of 77 people on board passing away.

Alan Ruschel, Jakson Follmann and Helio Neto - the three players to survive the crash - were among the Chape delegation who were greeted at Rionegro airport in Colombia.
