Madrid, Spain: The French national anthem La Marseillaise was played during a minute's silence in honour of the 130 people killed in last week's Paris attacks before Real Madrid's clash with Barcelona on Saturday.

The match went ahead under unprecedented security measures with 1,200 police, six times the usual number for a game classified as presenting a high security risk, and a triple ring of security checks deployed outside the stadium.

A large French flag was also unfurled during the minute's silence by the Madrid fans, who had previously cancelled their usual Tifo display for games against Barcelona.
