ISIS messages have been circulating on social networks calling for attacks on the stadiums in which the Champions League quarter-finals are being played. The Parc des Princes was placed under very high security after alerts about a possible terrorist threat from the Islamic State.
Despite this reinforced system, the atmosphere remains calm and serene, far from being heavy. “It’s a very big match, we shouldn’t scare anyone, even if you know the context very well. All around the stadium, the police force has been reinforced, so rest assured, explained the boss of the pat-down service in the afternoon. There's going to be police everywhere, so you should be fine. There will be unhappy, angry people, but it will be okay, we don't put pressure on ourselves. It's a match like any other, it's quite calm,” says spectator Christopher. The dog brigade and its sniffer dogs toured the ground looking for the slightest explosive. snipers were stationed on the roof of the Jean-Bouin gymnasium, Porte d'Auteuil.
