“It's very upsetting. You know, I didn't sleep for three days after probably the attacks, but as well information came through that it was related to my city,” Kompany told CNN.

“Now, for me, it was hurtful. I love my city. I love the people. Like most of the people, I think I was shocked.’

The international friendly between Belgium and Spain was cancelled due to security threats as shops, schools and the underground were shut over the weekend in Brussels.
