A van plowed into a group of pedestrians in Barcelona on Thursday, killing at least 13 and injuring 50.

The sports world, including many current and former FC Barcelona players, reacted to the attack on social media.

Quiero mandar mis condolencias y todo mi apoyo a las familias y amigos de las víctimas del terrible atentado en nuestra amada Barcelona, además de rechazar totalmente cualquier acto de violencia. No nos vamos a rendir, somos muchos más los que queremos vivir en un mundo en paz, sin odio y donde el respeto y la tolerancia sean las bases de la convivencia.
