Tuchel hails Dortmund's response to 'absurd' UEFA decision

Borussia Dortmund played just a day after an attack on their bus hospitalised Marc Bartra and Thomas Tuchel hailed his players' resolve

Thomas Tuchel praised Borussia Dortmund's response after an "absurd" decision to play their Champions League fixture with Monaco just a day after their team bus was attacked.

The quarter-final first leg was postponed on Tuesday, after three explosions left Dortmund defender Marc Bartra hospitalised with a wrist injury, the match replayed less than 24 hours later.

Kylian Mbappe's fortunate goal put Monaco ahead before they benefitted from Bartra's replacement in the Dortmund team, Sven Bender, putting through his own net before the break.
