France beat Germany 2-0 in an international friendly, but the game quickly paled into insignificance after deadly attacks close to the stadium.
President Francois Hollande was in the stadium but was rushed away as blasts were heard near the venue north of Paris.
Police helicopters circled the stadium at the final whistle after Hollande had left for the interior ministry.
"We are all in shock," said Germany coach Joachim Loew. "The game and the goals move into the background on a day like this.
"We were told in the changing rooms what had happened. All of us on the bench were a bit scared because of a bomb threat earlier today when we spent three hours outside (our hotel)."
Oliver Bierhoff added that "there was a lot of uncertainty, great fear and a very strange atmosphere in the dressing room."
