Spanish defender Marc Bartra said he experienced the “hardest 15 minutes” of his life when he suffered a broken wrist in the explosions that targeted Borussia Dortmund’s team bus on Tuesday inGermany.
In an Instagram post, he described his feelings:
“They are my everything, the reason I struggle to overcome obstacles and this has been the worst of my life, anexperience I would not want anyone in this world [to have],” he said.
“The pain, the panic and the uncertainty of not knowing what was going on, or how longit would last… were the longest and hardest 15 minutes of my life.
“I think that the shock is decreasing more and more and, at the same time, it adds tothe desire to live, to fight, to work, to laugh, to cry, to feel, to love, to believe, to play, to train, to continue to enjoy my people, loved ones, companions, my passion, to defend, to smell thegrass as I do before the game starts and motivate me.
“The only thing I ask is for everyone to live in peace and to leave behind the wars.”
