Dozens of pictures of the little blonde girl, who turned four a week ago, were shown to 90,000 football fans.

Her pretty face filled the screens at either end of the pitch - each one the size of 600 domestic TV sets - and dominated the ground.

The short two-minute video, set to the soundtrack of the Simple Minds hit Don't You Forget About Me, was shown at both half time and before the game.

It received a round of applause from fans of the two teams which both have close ties with Portugal, where the toddler was abducted while on holiday in the seaside village of Praia da Luz.

Chelsea captain John Terry and team-mate Paulo Ferreira have recorded appeals as has Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo.

The same video was shown at the Uefa Cup final in Glasgow between Espanyol FC and Sevilla earlier this week. Madeleine's father Gerry is originally from Glasgow and the video was aimed at fans from Spain, where Madeleine may now be.

The Anglican Bishop of Gibraltar, whose diocese covers all of Europe apart from Britain and Ireland, was making a rare appearance in Praia da Luz over the weekend.

The Right Rev Geoffrey Rowell has already asked people across Europe - from Gibraltar to Moscow - to pray for Madeleine's safe return.

Les Johnson, chaplaincy warden for the Algarve, said it was just a coincidence that the Bishop's visit coincided with the McCann family's agonising wait for news. He added: "There's a lot of sadness around at the moment, so it's nice to have a joyous occasion like this."
