Berlin: Borussia Dortmund defender Marc Bartra, who was wounded when three bombs rocked his Bundesliga team’s bus, described his ordeal as the longest and hardest 15 minutes of his life.

"The pain, the panic, the uncertainty of not knowing what was happening, or how long it would last... they were the longest and hardest 15 minutes of my life," the Spanish defender wrote in a message posted on Instagram.

The bombs detonated minutes after the team bus set off to a Champions League game against Monaco on Tuesday night. Bartra was hurt by flying glass and had to undergo a wrist operation, taking him out of action for four weeks.

"I needed to write and get this off my chest and settle it so I can just think about getting back to 100 per cent as soon as possible," he added.
