And Monaco have now revealed they will reimburse those fans nearly £70 for having to stay on.

Dortmund star Marc Bartra was hospitalised after an explosion on the team bus near the Signal Iduna Park stadium.

Fans were not in danger at the stadium, with the incident happening near the team hotel about six miles away from the stadium.

The visiting French fans made a wonderful gesture as well, as they began to chant "Dortmund Dortmund" and clapped their German counterparts - with the Borussia fans clapping back in return.

Spaniard Bartra was the only person hurt in the incident and is stable with minor cuts after the shattering of a window on the team bus following one of the blasts.

And reports say it was a miracle he was not more badly hurt - with Bild reporting as many as three explosions.
