The French capital suffered a series of attacks during Germany's friendly match with France. More than 100 people were killed, with several locations targeted in a seemingly coordinated attack. The DFB Team spent the night inside the Stade de France, before returning to Frankfurt on Saturday morning, where they released the following statement:
We came to Paris to do what connects us all - to play football, together, against one another and in friendship. To have an enjoyable evening together with our fans, to show sporting ambition, but particularly we came for a fair and peaceful encounter. We all looked forward to playing in the Stade de France, to have a great night of football, which ended up turning into a nightmare.
It was a dull bang, which changed everything. It produced pictures that will remain in our heads for a long time. We spent the night doing a lot of thought-processing. We asked ourselves why something like this could happen? How is such inhumanity even possible? There were a lot of answers, but none that could explain these cowardly attacks. We lost a game of football on Friday evening. But nothing is as irrelevant as that right now.
