After the match, the Atletico Madrid player's focus was occupied by the well-being of his sister Maud, who was at the concert by the American rock band Eagles of Death Metal. He wrote on his official Twitter feed: "My thoughts are with the victims of the attacks. God take care of my sister and the French people."
