'UEFA will make an announcement on the resumption of the match in due course.'
Torrential rain poured into the stadium with showers seen pouring down through leaks in the roof at Signal Iduna Park.
The weather didn't ruin the nights of some Denmark fans however, who were seen dancing by one of the two waterfalls coming pouring down onto the seats.
