Why Chelsea vs Dortmund Champions League second leg was delayed by 10 minutes

Chelsea's Champions League last-16 second leg tie against Borussia Dortmund has had kick-off delayed by 10 minutes after the German side arrived late to Stamford Bridge.

On what is Dortmund's first ever trip to the ground, crowds gathered outside the stadium to welcome the home team bus and extra traffic around SW6 meant that Edin Terzic's side arrived later than scheduled.

Kick off was due to be at 8pm UK time. The Blues are attempting to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg away in Germany, falling foul to Karim Adeyemi's stunning solo goal.

It comes with Graham Potter under increasing pressure to get immediate results at the club, meanwhile fans are hoping to see their side get into the last eight of the competition for the third year running.

Real Madrid knocked them out last season after a brilliant second leg in Spain, the year before that they went all the way and lifted the trophy for the second time after Thomas Tuchel masterminded an unlikely run to the final.
