Paris attack still haunts Germany boss Joachim Loew

Germany head coach Joachim Loew admits he is still haunted by memories of the November 2015 terror attacks in Paris, ahead of tonight's friendly international against France in Cologne. On November 13 two years ago suicide bombers set off explosive devices outside the Stade de France during Germany's match with France that was the start of a series of terror attacks that left 130 dead.

"You do not forget something like that. The memories return again and again," said Loew yesterday. "That was a dramatic experience and one you wouldn't want to go through again. You manage to block things out a bit, but it (the evening) was marked by a fear of being inside the stadium."
