OXFORD United boss Pep Clotet has expressed his sorrow over terrorist attacks which killed at least 13 people in his home city of Barcelona.

In the latest European terror attack, on Thursday a man drove a van into crowds of people in Las Ramblas, a popular tourist area.

Clotet wrote on Twitter as the reality of the attack unfolded on Thursday evening: “Upset by the terrorist attack on a city that’s so dear to me. Sending heartfelt hugs to all the families of the victims in Barcelona.”

A woman injured in a separate attack in Cambrils, about 70 miles south of Barcelona, died yesterday.

In that attack, five men wearing fake suicide belts ploughed into pedestrians just hours after the atrocity in Barcelona.

Yesterday afternoon, the Foreign Office confirmed a ‘small number’ of Britons had been injured.

Police said they were investigating that the attacks were prepared in a house in Alcanar, about 120 miles south of Barcelona.

Explosions tore apart a building there on Wednesday, apparently the result of exploding gas canisters.

Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy condemned the ‘jihadist attack’ in Barcelona and a minute’s silence was held across Spain on Friday.
