Just one player suffered minor injuries, but a fourth explosive device was reportedly found near the team's hotel.
Per The Guardian, a police spokesman said authorities were treating the incident as a "targeted attack on Borussia Dortmund’s team," while Dortmund police said via Twitter that, "after initial investigation, we assume that this was an attack with serious explosives."
The match was rescheduled for Wednesday night -- but many Monaco fans who traveled to Dortmund for the showdown found themselves having to adjust on the fly.
Then a hashtag began popping up on Twitter: #bedforaway fans, meant to connect stranded Monaco supporters with places to crash.
