Football reacts to Bastille day attacks in Nice as 84 confirmed dead in terror atrocity
FOOTBALL reacted with horror and support to the victims of the terror attack in Nice.
The southern French destination, which is popular with summer tourists as well as Bastille Day revellers, became the scene of a violent attack last night.
A lorry driver ploughed into a crowd of thousands watching fireworks in the Nice Port area before opening fire on civilians.
And in a summer that has seen France host Euro 2016, with the Tour de France currently rolling through the southern regions, the country's sporting crowd have reacted with horror.
Marine Lloris, the wife of French captain Hugo Lloris, who like her husband hails from Nice, said on Twitter: "My city is attacked. The total horror. Atrocious. We are devastated. #nice #france."
Moussa Sissoko tweeted: "What will stop this one day...? Support and brotherhood in the #ForceofFamilies #Nice06"
