“The team and the coaches are, of course, shocked,” he added. “We must now channel this in some way. It will not be easy to get out of that mindset.”

Police have been using social media to keep fans and others updated on the incident in an effort to maintain order. For instance, as fans exited the stadium, police tweeted they should not be alarmed if they see drones in the air. The police said they would be using the drones to search the area.

Both the team and police have expressed gratitude to the crowd for keeping calm during the incident. Fans filed out of the stadium in an orderly manner, but not before expressing their support for the team by chanting its name, according to the Borussia officials online.

As news spread of the incident, the soccer community offered their well wishes, including Barcelona, Bartra’s former team.
