Former France striker Djibril Cisse has revealed how close the Paris terror attacks were to his home after tweeting a picture from his window that showed the aftermath of the tragic scenes that has shocked the world.

More than 120 people were killed in a series of attacks as eight gunmen mercilessly executed members of the public in the French capital, before seven killed themselves in suicide bombings. The other gunmen was shot by police in a raid at the Bataclan theatre.

Cisse, who played for Liverpool, Sunderland and Queens Park Rangers during his career, sent his condolences to the victims of the massacre, along with a picture that showed the scene of one of the attacks outside his window.

Cisse wrote in French: “What a shock to see this horror of my window, a thought to the victims.”

The former France international had been pictured at the Stade de France watching them take on Germany in an international friendly when an attack took place at the stadium. Three people were killed at an entrance to the ground, while two loud explosions were heard during the match that left the players visibly shocked.

Fans were taken onto the pitch after the match in a bid to keep them safe, before being allowed to leave once the threat had passed, while the German side remained at the stadium until Saturday morning.
