French midfielder Antoine Griezmann also revealed after the game his sister survived the attack at the Bataclan theater, where at least 89 people died. The 24-year-old Atletico Madrid forward said on social media: "Thanks to God that my sister was able to leave the Bataclan. All my prayers are with the victims and their families."

It's the second time this year Paris has been struck by terrorism after 12 people were killed by gunmen in January. The attacks have raised concerns about fans' safety at Euro 2016, which is being held in France between June 10 and July 10 next year.

Euro 2016 president Jacques Lambert has promised the organization will take the "necessary decisions" to ensure the tournament takes place securely. "The security in stadiums works well, the risk is more out in the streets, in spontaneous gatherings," Lambert told broadcaster RTL.
