Die Mannschaft of Germany have safely landed home in Frankfurt in the early hours of Saturday.
The DFB Team players and staff spent the night inside the Stade de France Stadium after their friendly game with France.
Olivier Giroud and Andre-Pierre Gignac struck to give the French a 2-0 victory but the game was marred by bomb threats and multiple explosions close to the stadium.
After hearing the explosions during the match, the players on the field looked visibly shocked, before the game was finished and fans were allowed onto the stadium pitch in order to remain safe.
The German and French squads returned to the dressing rooms were they were held, before being allowed to leave the stadium once the threat had passed and it was safe to leave.
The world champions were due to play the Netherlands on Tuesday but the game might be called.
“We’re glad that we managed to successfully organise our departure,” explained DFB Security Commissioner Hendrik Große Lefert. “Everything else will be dealt with later.”
Team manager Oliver Bierhoff added that “we’ll have discussions and then make a decision on whether we’ll play or not.” He then went on to say that “our thoughts are with the victims and their families. We’re happy that we’re safe. Everyone conducted themselves in a very professional manner.”

Meanwhile, France declared a national state of emergency and closed its borders after at least six attacks were reported across Paris.
Uefa announced that all of its matches in the Euro 2016 play-offs, Under-21 Internationals and Under-19 Futsal Cup over the coming days would see players wear black armbands and a minute’s silence would be observed.
