Children United attended Real Madrid's training session on the Whites' fourth day at UCLA. The Israeli and Palestinian children who make up this group, who Mourinho has donated money to on various occasions, greeted the players, coaching staff and the president of Real Madrid and then had their photograph taken with them, before the session began. "They show that Sport is the best vehicle for peace. Mourinho went to Israel in 2005 and funded football leagues for Israeli and Palestinian children. Children United has done something amazing, as it has brought together 10 Israeli and 10 Palestinian children who are going to play in half-time during the game against Los Angeles Galaxy. Football demonstrates the power it has, it's almost a new religion", assured an excited Henrique Cymerman, Correspondent for the Middle East.
