The quarter-final, first-leg tie at Signal Iduna Park was postponed by just 24 hours after three explosions went off near the Dortmund team bus, injuring defender Marc Bartra.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he feared for his former Borussia Dortmund players' safety after the bomb attack on their team bus.
He claimed they were informed only by text message that they would have to play the game against Monaco.
Spanish worldwide defender Marc Bartra underwent emergency surgery for a broken wrist and to remove glass that became planted in his arm after the blasts shattered windows on the team bus.
Earlier, German authorities arrested a man in connection with what chancellor Angela Merkel called the "despicable" attack on the bus, in which three explosions went off as the Dortmund players made their way to the stadium.
They have issued a formal arrest warrant for the 26-year-old Iraqi, who is now in police custody after being detained on Wednesday following raids on two apartments.
It will obviously take time to deal with it in a proper way because I'm pretty sure if some of the people who made the decision afterwards would have been in the bus, they wouldn't have played the game.
Dortmund residents, for their part, used social media to offer accommodation to stranded Monaco supporters ahead of their rescheduled match in Europe's premier soccer club competition.

Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov blasted USA claims that it has "irrefutable evidence" of election interference. But such hopes appeared optimistic as the diplomats outlined their sharply diverging views on Syria.
"Marcel said, "That was absolutely worse because then, only then, we really realised how far we were from total disaster and losing lives"". "It's hard for the Dortmund players, a player was injured, but UEFA decided that we had to play", he added.
Merkel said Thursday that "highly varying" laws for each region under Germany's federalist system were undermining the country's fight against terrorism.
"We would have wanted to have more time to digest all of this".
"What will stay in history is not the result, but what happened last night", Jardim said. "A decision made in Switzerland that concerns us directly".
After the match, Borussia Dortmund's manager Thomas Tuchel lashed out at UEFA.
Members of Dortmund's squad - including Nuri Sahin and Julian Weigl - admitted after the match that the attack had an impact on their performance.
"It's hard to talk about it, it's hard to find the right words", said Sahin. "We will play for everyone. we want to show that terror and hate can never determine our actions".
