Every player has the right to start with a unusual feeling.

German news media described that suspect as a 25-year-old Iraqi man who was detained in the town of Wuppertal, which is about 40 miles southwest of Dortmund.

"That's why it's right that we do as much as we can to protect it, and not allow criminals to take the fascination away from us". "They are more thoughtful".

Monaco boss Leonardo Jardim had sympathy with Dortmund, but says a packed fixture list played its part in the quickfire rescheduling.

"UEFA was in touch with all parties on Wednesday and never received any information which suggested that any of the teams did not want to play".

Yet it proved a huge goal for the visitors especially as it came just minutes after Fabinho had driven his penalty, awarded for Sokratis Papastathopoulos' foul on Mbappe in the area, wide.

Mbappe gave Monaco a 19th-minute lead shortly after Fabinho had missed a penalty for the visitors, and they went further ahead when Dortmund defender Sven Bender headed into his own net.

Tuchel said each player had been affected differently.

However, a season filled with injuries has a new one as Thompson, the team's only true center, is out with a sprained right thumb. Although they sit top of the Eastern Conference, they have not strolled to the number one seed like they did last season.

The match, postponed in the wake of the attack, will be played Wednesday night amid tight security.

Dortmund stars Nuri Sahin and Julian Weigl lauded the courage of their team-mates. We didn't get the time. "Until kick-off, everything was all still in my head, but not football", said Turkey worldwide midfielder Sahin. I hope that what happened to us, never happens to anyone else.

"I know football is very important, we love football, we suffer with football and I know we earn a lot of money, we have a privileged life". "We know the quality of Dortmund and also the support of their supporters, the atmosphere".

Every one of us has to cope with the incident by himself. "That was not nice today (Wednesday)".

"This is certainly a hard situation for the team which, I think, has not experienced such a situation before", he said.

"It was their very first time in the stadium". Bartra, who has played 29 games in all competitions for Dortmund this season, was treated at the scene and hospitalized. This is normal: the players yesterday [Tuesday] called family, buddies, friends.

But Koehler said there were "significant doubts" about its authenticity. But we're only halfway there. Every player, every human, and this attack was on us as humans, can be scared stiff by this. "We haven't won anything yet".
