Marc Bartra says Dortmund bomb attack was the 'worst experience' of his life

Borussia Dortmund's Marc Bartra has revealed he experienced the "longest and hardest 15 minutes" of his life on Tuesday night following the bomb attack on the team bus ahead of the side's Champions League tie with Monaco.

The Spanish defender was left injured after Dortmund's team bus was victim of a bomb attack prior to their Champions League fixture against Monaco.

He underwent surgery on a broken wrist and will be sidelined for a month and has now taken to social media to describe his feelings following the attack.

"This was the worst experience of my life, and something I would not wish to anyone in this world," he said via his Instagram account.

"The pain, the panic and the uncertainty of not knowing what was going on, or how long it would last... were the longest and hardest 15 minutes of my life.

"These days when I look at my wrist, swollen and badly wounded, you know what I feel? Pride. I look at it proudly, thinking that all the damage they wanted to do to us on Tuesday stayed in this (injury).

"The shock is decreasing more and more. The only thing I ask is for everyone to live in peace and to leave behind the wars.

"Thanks to the doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and people who helped me recover. To the thousands and thousands of people who have given me support and affection - as small as it may be. It has filled me with incredible strength to continue on and on."

Dortmund players wore t-shirts donning Bartra's name and number during the warm-up to their 3-2 loss against Monaco played on Wednesday evening.
