Borussia Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel said his side was ignored by European football's governing body, Uefa, as the club was forced to play less than 24 hours after an attack on the team bus transporting its players. "As if we had thrown a beer on our coach".
Three explosions went off near a bus carrying Borussia Dortmund players as it was on its way to a home match against Monaco in the Champions League. "We were told by text message that the decision had been made in Switzerland", he said in post-match interviews.
After their team bus was attacked in an alleged terrorist attack on Tuesday, Borussia Dortmund midfielder Nuri Sahin has spoken out about the incident that shook the football world.
There, the man - named as 26-year-old Abdul Beset A. - had led a commando unit of 10 members which had been involved in kidnappings, smuggling, extortion and murder, the statement said.
Dortmund return to Bundesliga action this weekend when they take on Eintracht Frankfurt. "So, I was waiting like the rest of the world for more information".
Current Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel hit out at European football's governing body for disregarding the feelings of his squad when it chose to re-schedule the Champions League quarter-final to kick off less than 24 hours after the incident in Germany.

After the match, Tuchel said his players had wanted more time to recover from the previous day's attack.
He now faces a four-week stint on the sidelines following the procedure, according to sources at Sky Sports.
"We want to help all our players overcome their own internal conflicts from this".
However, German Minister of the Interior Thomas De Maiziere agreed with Spahn in that the match needed to go on and that by not playing would be allowing the attackers to win. Every player, every human, and this attack was on us as humans, can be scared stiff by this.
"What will stay in history is not the result but what happened last night". "That gives you a feeling of powerlessness". "Of course this has an effect and it was a bad experience for all of us. There is no golden way to deal with this because it was the first time for everyone". Who will blame us for that?
"I know football is very important".
