Dortmund (Germany): Borussia Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel accused UEFA of treating the attack on their team bus as if only a "beer can" had been thrown and claimed they were informed by text message that they would have to play their Champions League game against Monaco.


The German side lost 3-2 to the French club in the first leg of the quarters on Wednesday, 24 hours after the game had been postponed. Kylian Mbappe struck twice in Monaco's win, with Tuchel furious at UEFA's handling of the situation.


"We felt completely passed over, it came down to 'tomorrow, you're playing. We were told by a text message. They treated it as if a beer can had been thrown at the bus," Tuchel said.
