The French police chief Laurent Nuñez said on Thursday that the match was “high risk” but that his officers would learn from the scenes in the Netherlands. Official sales ended at 11am on Thursday and ticket holders were wanted that they would not be allowed to bring any bags into the stadium.He said: “Obviously none of us within the team can be insensitive to such a heavy context. It impacts the amount of supporters present tomorrow and everything that goes with it.”
