Overview
- Sky’s documentary The Night of Paris — Terror at the Stade de France premieres on November 6 on Sky and Wow, with ARD’s film set for the ARD Mediathek and a November 10 broadcast.
- Accounts reaffirm that three suicide bombers detonated outside the stadium during the France–Germany friendly, part of coordinated attacks across Paris that killed 130 and injured hundreds.
- Players describe learning the scale of the attacks only in the locker room, after authorities let the game finish to prevent panic among tens of thousands of spectators.
- The German team spent the night under guard inside the stadium before an early‑morning evacuation in small buses to Charles de Gaulle Airport, as stewards and police had sealed the venue.
- Julian Draxler says the night left lasting effects, including avoiding large, uncontrolled crowds, and he recounts witnessing the September 9 airstrike in Doha that targeted Hamas leaders.
