DEDICATION TO BARTRE
When the players came out to warm up "Borussia", tribune "Monaco" perked up, applauded them and began chanting “Dortmund! Dortmund!”
A surreal picture, isn't it? It’s hard to imagine fans of one team greeting the players of another with applause and chants. But in this case everything is logical: in a day "Borussia" And "Monaco" got closer to each other and shared the bitterness of the disaster that happened. The Dortmund team themselves also warmly greeted the guests' exit, and before the starting whistle all the fans sang a song together You'll never walk alone (“You will never be alone”), which on that day was addressed to one specific person - Bartra.

The Spaniard, of course, was not included in the lineup, but he was at the stadium. And not just one: hundreds of fans came to the arena with personalized T-shirts, and one fan "Monaco" I even got hold of a T-shirt from my club somewhere with the defender’s name on it "Borussia".
The players also did not stand aside - the German goalkeeper went out to warm up with a teammate's T-shirt worn over his uniform, with the back side facing forward.
SCARY BLACK AND YELLOW WALL
Despite everything, the main thing that evening was football. And no one was going to refuse to attend the game and support their own because of the terrorist attack. Fans "Borussia", as planned, organized a large-scale performance and even, apparently, influenced the course of the match. All the fans in the famous south stand of the Westphalian stadium wore black and yellow raincoats. And not just anyhow, but so that the emblem of your favorite club appears. It turned out impressive and very unusual.
Most likely, this is why he missed the target from the penalty spot in the 17th minute. Imagine that a huge whistling wall has risen right in front of you, on which the enemy’s coat of arms is depicted. Yes, this view would make anyone’s head spin, but the Brazilian still needed to convert the shot! But he missed. Second time in a row "Monaco" missed a penalty in the Champions League. And rightly so: judging by the replays, Design fell of his own free will in the penalty area.
Besides, after a couple of minutes "Monaco" still scored: Dortmund failed to reorganize in defense after a positional attack and got a goal - the hosts forgot Lemara on the flank, and he shot right at Design. The young talent of the guests took the ball unsuccessfully, but it still crossed the goal line. By the way, the Monaco forward was obviously offside, but the Italian referees did not notice this.
EXCESSIVE HELP
"Borussia" once again lined up according to the long-established basic formation with three defenders, hoping to hold back the valiant prowess of the princely attack. It was more important for Dortmund not to concede at home, but by the end of the first half the Germans’ tactical plan turned into a disaster - Bender, trying to interrupt the feed to Falcao, gracefully sent the ball into his own goal with his head. It is clear that the fans "Monaco" they needed shelter at night, and the owners came to their rescue. But why was it necessary to help the guests in this way? During the break, he removed the nervous Bender from the field - the German played only his third match of the season, and even came out in an unusual position in the center of defense. No wonder he failed this game.
In the second half "Borussia" came out of economical mode and significantly increased the pressure on guests. As a result, another young forward reduced the score after an acrobatic trick - the Gabonese passed over himself with his heel, and he supplied the ball to the Frenchman.
Dortmund didn't stop after the goal, but neither did the players "Monaco" quickly recovered from the knockdown and even scored. Watched for a defensive mistake "Borussia" all the same Design: The 18-year-old Frenchman played for only the third time in his career in a Champions League match, but scored the fourth goal. Apparently in the summer "Monaco" will get a huge amount of money for it.
In the end "Borussia" still reduced the score gap when Kagawa pushed everyone around in someone else's penalty area, but this was still not enough for the hosts. If in added time Aubameyang hit the target from the goal area, the Germans could consider the result satisfactory. And so - Monaco made a strong bid to reach the semi-finals.
Monaco - Borussia Dortmund
Stadium:"Louis II" (Monaco)
Start of the match - 21.45
Arbitrator: Damir Skomina (Slovenia)
Borussia Dortmund formally remains the last team representing Germany in the Champions League. Bayern were defeated in Madrid, and now all eyes of both the inspired Dortmund fans and the disappointed Munich fans are turned to the south, or more precisely, to the Kingdom of Monaco, where the Bumblebees will try to achieve a real feat - to beat the local team of the same name after losing at home. Of course, the match a week ago can long be considered not entirely fair, because Borussia was forced to take the field after a shocking event - explosions near the club bus and damage to Bartra as a result of this terrorist act. But this is life, which sometimes throws up such unpleasant challenges, and therefore Tuchel’s team will have to gather all their will into a fist and show their best football in a match with the best team in France at the moment.
Yes, Monaco is incredibly good this season and you can admit this almost before every match. The most successful team in Europe once found the glory of an ordinary "moneybag", but the example of Kylian Mbappe proves that the unpleasant reputation has remained in history, and now Monaco claims to be the breakthrough of the season in all respects. Leonardo Jardim built a powerful, resilient, bright team and the final success in the match with Borussia is unlikely to surprise anyone. Yes, it will be difficult without the disqualified Fabinho, but Bakayoko has returned, Joao Moutinho is also aiming for the starting lineup - players are not of the last caliber and are definitely capable of replacing the Brazilian at the same level.
What can Borussia count on, since the Germans will have to score at least twice at Louis II? Firstly, the Monegasques’ far from exemplary defense, which may not be able to withstand a master like Aubameyang. Secondly, on their own attitude, which, for example, helped the “bumblebees” leave no stone unturned against “Benfica” in the return leg of the 1/8 finals. And thirdly, Borussia must introduce their prince to the Kingdom of Monaco - Marco Reus, who very opportunely returned from injury. The visiting squad is very strong, they have nothing to lose, there is no need to save strength, and therefore the match between Monaco and Dortmund promises to be one of the cherries on the sweet cake called the Champions League.
Interesting Facts:
For the last three Champions League matches, Monaco has scored at least three goals per game.
The last time the Monegasques reached the semi-final stage was in 2004. In the same season they overcame this stage, but lost to Porto in the decisive match (0:3).
The 2:3 score in the first match of the quarter finals of the Champions League was Borussia's first home defeat of the season.
Approximate lineups for the game:
"Monaco": Subasic - Toure, Jamerson, Glick, Mendy, Bernardo Silva, Moutinho, Bakayoko, Lemar, Mbappe, Falcao.
"Borussia": Bürki - Piszczek, Sokratis, Ginther, Schmelzer, Weigl, Reus, Dembele, Kagawa, Pulisic, Aubameyang.
Forecast for the match "Monaco" - "Borussia":
The victory of Borussia is rated by bookmakers a little higher than a different outcome, but do not forget that the traditional triumph of the guests will not suit them and they are forced to look back at the full purse of away goals. As a result, the success of Tuchel's team is estimated at 2.25, the hosts - at 3.00, and a draw - at 4.00. Very smooth, don’t you think?
Vladislav Urubkov
The incident occurred on Wittbräuker Strasse, 10 km from the stadium. Bild claims that three explosive devices went off near the bus. According to police, the improvised explosive device was located in the bushes.
The police brought a large force to the place.
The defender was sent to the hospital Mark Bartra. The Spanish midfielder was hit by glass shards and suffered cuts to his hand, but his condition is not alarming, writes Marca.
Representatives of UEFA and the police made a joint decision to cancel the meeting. The game has been rescheduled for Wednesday, April 12. Starts at 19:45 Moscow time. All tickets will be valid, the Borussia press service said.
Photo of the bus after the explosion
Executive Director of Borussia Franz-Joachim Watzke confirmed information about Bartra's injury and reported that the explosion occurred from the side where he was sitting Thomas Tuchel. “The head coach of the team is shocked, but not injured,” the functionary noted. “The team bus was attacked. The whole team is in shock. Such events cannot be forgotten. I hope that the team will be able to look competitive in tomorrow's match in this situation."
Information message about the postponement of the game at the stadium
Borussia thanked Monaco fans for their support at the stadium.
“Thank you for your patience, understanding and chants of “Dortmund! Dortmund!”, dear fans,” the Bumblebees press service said in a statement.
Fans at the stadium are not in danger
Barcelona expressed support for Borussia Dortmund defender Marc Bartra, who was injured in an explosion in front of the club bus.
“We all support Marc Bartra, Borussia and the team’s fans,” it says in a message from the Catalans on Twitter.

Sport Arena announces today's Champions League quarter-final match, which will take place at Signal Iduna Park.
The meeting was supposed to take place yesterday, but as Borussia was leaving for the stadium, three explosions occurred next to the club bus. As a result, it was decided to postpone the game until today.
Personnel situation
Questionable: Kagawa, Weigl, Royce
They won't play: Schürrle, Durm, Goetze, Bartra - Bakayoko, Sidibe, Bosquilla, Carrillo
Borussia will definitely not have Götze, Schürrle and Durm playing, but all of them have been in the hospital for a long time, and no one was expecting them for this game. Of course, the participation of Marc Bartra in the match, who underwent surgery on his wrist after yesterday's explosion, is excluded. As for the players who are in doubt (Marco Reus, Shinji Kagawa and Julian Weigl), they recently returned to training, but it is unclear what readiness of each of them to play. What is clear is that this is a problem, because despite all the advances to Pulisic, Reus’ experience and skill in such a game would be very useful to the Bumblebees.
As for the Monegasques themselves, they have two painful losses - the main right-back Sidibe will not play due to the removal of his appendix, while defensive midfielder Bakayoko will watch the match from the stands due to disqualification. Again, there is someone to replace them, but these replacements will not be equal, no matter how hard Toure and Moutinho try to prove the opposite.
Approximate compositions :
Borussia D: Bürki - Piszczek, Sokratis, Ginther, Schmelzer - Weigl, Castro, Guerreiro - Dembele, Pulisic - Aubameyang
Monaco: Subasic - Toure, Glick, Zemerson, Mendy - Bernardo Silva, Fabinho, Moutinho, Lemar - Falcao, Mbappe
Borussia - Monaco is a match between two teams of approximately the same level, and each of them feels most comfortable in attack. Both Tuchel’s team and Jardim’s team have many options for breaking into someone else’s defense: they have strong flanks, midfielders with a high passing culture, and top forwards at the forefront of attacks. But at the same time, today's opponents are very different.
Borussia likes to keep the ball and scores most of its goals in a positional attack, while Monaco's element is powerful, high pressing and quick counterattacks. Borussia prefers to play with three at the back, giving free rein to creative centre-halves, while Monaco plays with two centre-backs, as well as a pair of classic breakers who actively help them. Finally, the Bumblebees are looking for Aubameyang in attack, while Monaco does not have a single target for passes, and six players from Jardim's team have already scored more than seven goals this season.
Monaco approaches the reporting meeting with mixed feelings: in the championship, everything seems to be going according to plan for the team, but in the League Cup final it was not possible to play on equal terms with PSG (1:4). The same applies to Borussia: in the Champions League and in general in matches against average opponents, everything seems to be not bad, but in the match with Bayern, the Bumblebee defense did not last even ten minutes (1:4).
It is not difficult to predict how the teams will act in such a match: of course, the hosts will attack, while Monaco will play from the opponent. In light of this, the first goal will decide a lot: if the guests score it, the Bumblebees will have a hard time, because the more they go forward, the more zones they provide, the more problems they will get. If Borussia achieves its goal first, then Monaco will have to come up with something, and here the Bumblebees will certainly gain an advantage, because the Monegasques’ Plan B works every now and then.
In general, the Borussia - Monaco match is a game of two teams who not only know what they want, but also know how to achieve it beautifully. From such a match, fans expect sharp attacks, scoring chances, high tempo and decent quality football. And I want to believe that yesterday’s terrorist attack will not affect the psychological state of the teams, which, however, not everyone is sure of. Thus, ex-Bumblebees player Steffen Freund has already spoken out about the fact that Dortmund will not be able to recover from the consequences of the explosions within 24 hours.
Borussia D
One to Watch: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Borussia Dortmund)
At the beginning of his career, Aubameyang played for Monaco, but then hardly anyone could have suspected that this guy, who turned out to be unnecessary to Milan and was wandering around on loan, would become a world football star in the future.
Many years have passed since then, and now Pierre-Emerick is one of the most sought-after forwards in all of Europe. His speed, scoring ability and versatility are amazing, and bookmakers are even betting that his future transfer will be the most expensive in football history. Well, maybe that will happen, but for this Aubameyang will need to show all his talent in big matches - such as today's meeting against a team from his forgotten past.
Leonardo Jardim, head coach of Monaco:“This will be our second quarterfinal in three years. As always, we expect a very tough match against good players who are much more experienced than the Monaco players. We have already played more matches this season than other European clubs, but we must cope. We need to show the kind of football we usually play - be active in attack and careful in defense.”
Thomas Tuchel, Borussia head coach:“We are impressed by many of Monaco's players. This is a very talented team in terms of the individual abilities of the players. But Monaco's players also work well together. The performance of our opponent clearly shows the work of the head coach and it is clear what he wants to achieve.”

Forecast for the Champions League match Borussia Dortmund – Monaco (04/11/2017)
FC Borussia Dortmund
The 1/4 final stage of the most prestigious European club tournament is good, at least, because it contains several even and very intriguing pairings. The duel between the German club and the representative of France is one of these.
21-45. April 11, 2017 Champions League. Borussia Dortmund - Monaco
Borussia Dortmund – Monaco. Westfalen Stadium. Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund
In the match between the “black and yellows” and “Bavaria”, nothing went well for the guests in front, but the experienced and usually collected Arturo Vidal helped them, hitting the ball directly to Guerreiro, and the reigning European champion reduced the gap. The Portuguese himself also needs to be given credit, because he managed a truly luxurious dribbling shot. But in general... What can we talk about if Bayern had the ball 71% of the game time and made 92% of accurate passes?!.. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was also disappointed, having scored as many as 11 goals in seven previous official matches. Yes, he, too, could have scored, but, running face-to-face with the goalkeeper, he shot so weakly that David Alaba managed to catch up with the ball before it crossed the goal line.
Monaco
Leonardo Jardim's team demonstrated the minimum that was enough for success. The Monegasques only needed one cool, well-thought-out combination. We are talking about a long pass from the halfway line to the flank, to the free Bernardo Silva. The latter had time to accept, orient himself and calculate what to do next, after which he rolled the ball to his partner who was rushing to help. Radamel Falcao seemed to have finally recovered from his injury, and calmly and calculatingly shot past the goalkeeper.
Our forecast for the match Borussia Dortmund - Monaco
Both the last matches and other “fresh” games of these teams indicate that both Dortmund and Monaco are quite tired at this stage, so we will see fewer goals rather than more. We expect no more than three goals scored.
