Heard about it through a customer at work and was worried it was another Paris-attack-the-stadium attack.

I fear it was an Ultra who didn't want Dortmund to win. But hopefully they are able to find who is responsible.

I don't know how they're going to play with the recent attack on their mind and the fact that one of their teammates is in the hospital because of it. :(

Props to the Dortmund fans for giving the stranded Monaco fans a place to stay. I guess you could call it AirBVB.

So I read there were 2 letters there?

And that Antifa claimed it was their doing but later deleted???

[ananasonastick.livejournal.com]

Nvm, I read they arrested someone.

He's been in England looking for coaching opportunities since late last year (the MLS season is different from ours).

What the fuck happened yesterday :(
I'm just thankful that nobody got srsly hurt, don't even care about the Champions League anymore.

[ananasonastick.livejournal.com]

I'm seriously surprised both clubs wanted to play that quickly.

Just reschedule everything and let players have their peace. I'm sure other teams would understand.

they don't have the time

[jazzypom.livejournal.com]

In terms of the rest of the schedule, the business of football rolls on.

RE: they don't have the time

[ananasonastick.livejournal.com]

ik ik but with (apparently) one person still on the lose? and since they like to attack several times in a row?

Anyway, I hope everything will be fine today.

[ndobler.livejournal.com]

They probably discussed it yesterday but I don't think either team has any room in their schedule this month to postpone it. The return leg is next week and Dortmund has the Pokal semi-final on the 26th. There's no way UEFA would reschedule it to the next month. So the only other option would be to bscly forfeit the game. Last month we were all joking about hoping the squad would survive this month since the schedule was really tough but we didn't mean it literally :/

How does anyone expect the players to focus on the game today, I dunno. Nobody really cares about the result anymore.

same! same!

After the news came in, I didn't even look to watch the Juventus Barcelona match, tbh.

[the4thjuliek.livejournal.com]

IKR? I dunno how both teams will be today, they must be still affected psychologically :(

[ladyseraph-756.livejournal.com]

That was a close shave yikes@ that bus. Thank God Bartra was relatively OK, although the players must be shocked

Does anyone know anything about who might be responsible?

There were two confession letters. One (that they think is fake) from supposed Antifa people claiming they did it because BVB isn't doing enough against neo-Nazis in the fan base (which I'd not be surprised if it was actually written by such neo-Nazis). An attack of that sort seems utterly out of character.

Then there's an IS-style confession letter (but one that doesn't fit how IS usually does thing, starting with the fact that they don't usually leave letters at the attack site).

They have two suspects, one of them has been arrested now, but it's not really known yet what their motivation was (assuming they did it).
