'The players slept in the stadium'

"It was too risky to go back to the team hotel", that's how German football journalist Martin Roschitz has described the scenes as the German and French football teams had to sleep overnight at the Stade de France following the bomb attacks on Paris.
Over 120 people are known to have been killed, with two of the explosions outside the stadium in the north of Paris, where France were playing Germany in a friendly.
Bastian Schweinsteiger, Manuel Neuer and Thomas Muller, were among the players with Roschitz, who's been sharing his experience with Lee James:
