MONACO (AP) " Borussia Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel vented his frustration after local police delayed the team bus when it was ready to leave the players' hotel for Wednesday's Champions League quarterfinal against Monaco. Tuchel said the incident evoked bad memories of last Tuesday's bus attack in Germany, when three explosions went off as the bus headed to the stadium for the home leg. That attack left defender Marc Bartra needing hospital treatment following injuries to his wrist and arm after a window was shattered. "We wanted to leave at 7:15 p.m. Everyone was prepared and in the bus, but we couldn't move for 16 or 17 minutes," Tuchel said after the game. Kickoff was delayed by five minutes, with soccer's governing body UEFA saying only that it was due to "late team arrival caused by heavy traffic."
