Football found itself at the centre of tragedy on Friday as over 100 people were killed in a string of attacks in Paris.
There were explosions outside the Stade de France during Germany's friendly against the Euro 2016 hosts in addition to five gun attacks across the capital city which led the country to declare a state of emergency.
There was an outpouring of grief from well-wishers around the world and Goal has compiled tweets from footballers who expressed sympathy and concern for those killed, injured or affected in the Paris attacks.

the moment. My thoughts are with all the victims and innocent people
suffering right now.
