Monaco's mentality "can't change" as they prepare to play Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League quarterfinal second leg, captain and striker Radamel Falcao said on Tuesday (April 18).
Coach Leonardo Jardim said the team was used to playing with its "DNA" and that he wanted to keep up the momentum.
Dortmund have a one-goal deficit against Monaco after losing their quarterfinal first leg following an attack on the team bus.
Three explosions rocked the Borussia coach on its way to the stadium in Germany last Tuesday, causing the match to be postponed for 24 hours. Monaco then won Wednesday's game 3-2.
It is still unclear who carried out the attack that injured Dortmund defender Marc Bartra. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
