Dortmund's "Borussia" defender Nuri Sahin struggled to find words after the 2-3 defeat to "Monaco".
According to the Turk, after the terrorist attack, they did not want to play in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals and the players' minds were elsewhere.
"It's difficult to talk, because it's impossible to find the right words about this attack. Of course, there was absolutely no desire to play, but we knew that we had our duties and we had to represent one of the most prestigious clubs on the planet in the tournament.
We tried to put everything aside and even played a decent game, despite being faced with events completely unrelated to football.
We have seen similar things many times on TV and thought they were very far away, despite the fact that explosions were happening in my country, Turkey.
I wouldn't wish anyone to face that," Sahin said, trying to hold back his emotions.
"At first, I didn't even understand what had happened at that moment, but when I saw my wife and son waiting in front of my house, I realized how lucky we were."
