I'm hoping Dortmund and Monaco can score 15+ goals between them over the 2 legs.
UEFA Champions League 16/17
- Thread starter Davo15
- Start date
After PSG and City were eliminated, I was leaning towards Dortmund and Monaco to support. Figures they got drawn in the quarters......
Speaking of BVB, they are kicking off in a few minutes to counterbalance all of the hoops.
That game was pitiful. Although Morales looked pretty boss at DM. Of course, that's Mikey's spot, so we can't bring in people who are, you know, starters in the Bundesliga.
Yes, it was gross. From the play to the announcing.

They haven't really been clear on the explosions. But most have been serious enough to breach Windows on the upper level of bus
Some kind of improvised explosive. It's taken out the protective coating but hasn't harmed the reinforced glass, clearly. Doesn't look like a very strong blast - something along the lines of a large firework, maybe.
I mean, at this stage we can't even rule out for certain that it wasn't just a particularly stupid fan lobbing something shop-bought. You still occasionally hear of team coaches getting bricked (and the bricks usually get through the windows, which says is all about this explosion).

It was bad enough that Marc Bartra was taken to the hospital
Yeah, I'm not sure what exactly he was taken to hospital with. I think it's fairly safe to assume he was sat next to where the explosive went off, so he likely took a bit of concussive blast. I've not heard anything to suggest he was actually hit by anything. I'm going to guess he was taken in as a precaution and will be released by tomorrow morning if not before.
"Defender Marc Bartra was the only person injured in the blasts and was taken to hospital with cuts to his arm, caused by broken glass."

More info on the Dortmund blast released:
http://www.espnfc.com/uefa-champion...pect-in-borussia-dortmund-team-bus-blast-case
So apparently Bartra suffered a broken wrist. This thing ended up being quite dangerous. Luckily there was only one other injury (a police officer escorting the bus) and no serious injuries.
"The statement added: "The explosives were armed with metal pins, one of them drilling itself into one of the head rests of a seat. We can be thankful that nothing more serious happened.
"The explosive power was up to 100 metres.""

Also, a great story here coming out of it with Dortmund fans offering places to stay for traveling Monaco fans:
