'We are not animals' - Sokratis hits out at UEFA's treatment of Dortmund

With emotions still high as the defender and his team-mates counted their blessings, the Greece international hit out at Europe's governing body

Sokratis criticised UEFA over their treatment of Borussia Dortmund, with the defender saying he felt like an "animal" following Wednesday's rescheduled Champions League fixture.

Dortmund hosted Monaco and lost 3-2 in the first leg of their quarter-final tie, less than 24 hours after the original match was postponed when the German club were rocked by explosions en route to Signal Iduna Park.

The team's bus was hit by an explosion as they were leaving their hotel for the stadium on Tuesday, with defender Marc Bartra requiring surgery on a broken wrist.
