Weidenfeller - Reacted late on the Tevez strike and should have done better to perhaps knock it behind, but did brilliantly to deny Morata twice from in-close shortly after the restart. Hung out to dry on the last two goals. 25 S. Papastathopoulos - Forced to play as a wing-back due to injuries and did not look all-too comfortable. Largely unimpressive in possession and offered little going forward. 4 N. Subotić - His poor positioning was exposed and he was often caught out at the back as he tried to contribute in attack, to no avail. 15 M. Hummels - Did not pose the threat he usually does from set pieces and, with his side forced to press, was caught out on more than a few occasions. 29 M. Schmelzer - Failed to offer much going forward and was thus withdrawn at the break, but his side unraveled at the back afterwards. 6 S. Bender - Tracked back to prevent his side from being exposed on the counter but needed to offer more going forward. Subbed off after just over an hour. 8 I. Gündogan - Prominent in possession, distributing the ball nicely to the flanks, but faded as the match went on. 23 K. Kampl - Had one of his side's few attempts on target, but was largely unimpressive, failing to create much of anything. 10 H. Mkhitaryan - Could do nothing to test the Juventus defence with his passing and as a result was taken off in the 64th minute. 11 M. Reus - Worked well on the ball to win a number of free kicks for his side, but seemed to lack communication with his teammates as he struggled to link up and find a way through. 17 P. Aubameyang - Largely anonymous in the first half and his day didn't get much better as the match went on. Substitutes 21 O. Kirch - Could not provide an added threat in attack after replacing Schmelzer for that very reason at the break. 16 J. Błaszczykowski - Absolutely abysmal play in the build-up to the Morata goal, playing Tevez onside then slipping to allow him all the time and space in the world. 20 A. Ramos - Had the best chance of the match with a free header from in close, but put it too close to Buffon. Juventus 1 G. Buffon - Hardly tested in goal, but was always up for the occasion. 26 S. Lichtsteiner - Kick-started a few counter attacks with some good balls forward. Did a tremendous job to limit the danger posed by Reus. 19 L. Bonucci - Never put a foot wrong, keeping everything in front of him. Hardly troubled as an integral part of the black and white wall in defence. 3 G. Chiellini - Orchestrated the back line very well, preventing Dortmund from having so much as a sniff at goal. 33 P. Evra - A good run down the left allowed him to pick out Tevez, leading to the opening goal. Never troubled at the back, keeping Kampl in check. 23 A. Vidal - Worked tirelessly in midfield, putting in a number of good tackles and providing excellent support in defence, but did not contribute at all going forward. 8 C. Marchisio - Offered good protection for the back line and his transition play was nothing short of brilliant. 6 P. Pogba - Put in some good work in midfield but pulled up lame after a challenge from Schmelzer and was forced off after less than 30 minutes. 37 R. Pereyra - Absolutely lethal on the counter with his passing ability, playing Morata through for both second-half chances. Finally got his assist, setting up Tevez for the third goal. 10 C. Tévez - A sensational strike into the top corner put his side on course for the quarter-finals after just three minutes. A well-timed run and unselfish play set up Morata to score the second, and he then doubled his tally with another smart finish. 9 Álvaro Morata - Had two glorious chances to end the game early in the second half but was twice denied by Weidenfeller. Finally got his goal, tapping a Tevez pass into an empty net to effectively see his side through. Substitutes 15 A. Barzagli - Came on for Pogba in the first half and did not miss a beat defensively.

Mar 18, 2015 Carlos Tevez was full of praise for his Juventus side after they beat Borussia Dortmund to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The striker scored twice to fire his side to a 3-0 victory over the German side in Dortmund on Wednesday, progressing to the last eight 5-1 on aggregate. Tevez feels his side were thoroughly deserving of the win and, after crashing out of the competition at the group stages last term, feels it represents a huge step forward for the Turin club. “I think we had a great game. I just did my job, but it's always the team that wins the game," he told Sport Mediaset. "Juve always find the Champions League tricky, but we are on the right track now." Juve defender Giorgio Chiellini also insisted that it is just the beginning for the Serie A champions, but admits the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich are the favourites to win the tournament. "This qualification is not a point of arrival, but a starting point," he said. "Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern are the best teams, but we are satisfied to have reached the final eight. "Now we had to play without fear but aware of the difficulties that we will encounter. We are a great team and now want to prove it!"

The Bianconeri won their last-16 encounter 5-1 on aggregate, and received countless plaudits for an excellent display in the Westfalonstadion, as they convincingly progressed to the next stage. “We are delighted with the result and now await the draw, clearly there are some teams that are stronger than others but we must think about ourselves and work to improve and match them,” the 30-year-old told Mediaset. “Tonight we were always fluid, and despite being shaky at times, we never lost control of the game.” The Serie A leaders go into the next round with the likes of Bayern Munich and Barcelona, reaching a stage that Antoino Conte took Juve to in 2013, with Chiellini noting the positives of coach Massimiliano Allegri’s appointment for this season. “The coaching change has given us something more, because for the first two months we had the desire to prove ourselves as the best team in Italy. “We are grateful for Conte’s achievements, but we want to prove to everybody, as well as ourselves, that we are a great team.”

Die Schwarzgelben were defeated 3-1 at home by La Vecchia Signora in the Champions League Round of 16 on Wednesday night, which allowed the Italians to advance through to the quarter finals after a result of 5-1 on aggregate. “The early goal we conceded was obviously a shock for us, you can’t deny that,” the German told the press. Carlos Tevez gave the Italian champions the lead after just over two minutes. “For almost the entire match we failed to create any noteworthy chances,” the 26-year-old added. “In the second half we completely lost our rhythm, and in the end the scoreline was deserved.” The World Cup winner continued to be critical towards his team. “We can’t claim that we were on the same level as Juventus today.”

The Bianconeri allowed Dortmund to have possession in the first half after taking an early lead thanks to Carlos Tevez’s long-range strike. Alvaro Morata scored Juventus’ second goal and then Tevez completed his double in the second half to maintain Italy’s representation in the Champions League. Borussia Dortmund Roman Weidenfeller – 5.5 – Beaten - He conceded three goals but it could have been even worse if he did not make two great saves from Morata. Sokratis Papastathopoulos – 4 – Misplaced - He was played out of position and it showed. On the right flank he was ineffective and switching to the left flank in the second half made no difference. Mats Hummels – 5 – Exposed - He made some interventions but he lacked support and had trouble playing the offside trap effectively. Neven Subotic – 4.5 – Slow - He left too much space for Tevez and Morata to expose and he was clearly outpaced. Marcel Schmelzer – 5.5 – Average - Made some runs down the left flank but didn’t help out enough defensively. Replaced at half-time. Sven Bender – 5 – Lethargic - He struggled to dictate play for deep and he couldn’t cope with the running of Vidal and Pereyra. Ilkay Gundogan – 5 – Quiet - He did not make any obvious errors defensively but he did not make any decisive passes either. Kevin Kampl – 6 – Sufficient - He made some decent runs and passes but his teammates were not able to do something damaging with the ball. Henrikh Mkhitaryan – 5.5 – Inadequate - Although he tried to create the play, he was not capable of unlocking the Juventus defence. Marco Reus – 5 – Wasteful - Reus was given the responsibility to take the free-kicks and corners but he could not find his teammates. In open play, he was not much better. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – 5 – Isolated - He was isolated in attack but even when he got supply, he was not able to wriggle away from the Juve defenders. Substitutes Oliver Kirch – 5 - He replaced Schmelzer at half-time and played at right-back. Only a slight improvement on Papastathopoulos on the right. Jakub Blaszczykowski – 4.5 - He came on for Mkhitaryan after 63 minutes. He played the Juventus attackers onside for the second goal and did not trouble the Juve defence. Adrian Ramos – 5 - He also came on after 63 minutes and he replaced Bender. Had a header which was easily saved by Buffon. Juventus Gianluigi Buffon – 7 – Alert - He was not tested too often but he was alert when he was called upon. Demonstrated the composure to play the ball out of defence even when he was surrounded by opposition attackers. Stephan Lichtsteiner – 6.5 – Solid - Not as adventurous as he usually is but he helped out his defence. Leonardo Bonucci – 7.5 – Wall - A defender in his prime, he was not overawed by the occasion. The Germans were basically running into a wall and Bonucci hardly let the Dortmund attackers past him. Giorgio Chiellini – 7 – Rock - Along with Bonucci, he conceded very little. The experienced defender rarely conceded any space. Patrice Evra – 6 – Adequate - He did not do too much offensively but he was solid enough in defence. Arturo Vidal – 6.5 – Workhorse - The central midfielder was not totally effective in attack but his work ethic was important when Juventus had to defend. Claudio Marchisio – 7 – Accomplished - He won the ball in midfield and started Juventus’ attacks. Demonstrated his defensive and offensive strengths. Paul Pogba – NA – Premature - He had some touches of the ball but he came off touching his hamstring early in the game. Roberto Pereyra – 7 – Energetic - He created a chance for Morata when he barged down the middle of the ground and the Argentine made another direct run to set-up his compatriot Tevez for the third goal. CARLOS TEVEZ – 8 – Magnificent - The Argentine striker made the very most of the space that the Dortmund defence left him. He opened the scoring with a fabulous long-range strike, created Morata’s goal and then sealed the win with an angled drive. Alvaro Morata – 7 – Opportunistic - He was denied twice by Weidenfeller but Tevez set him up for an easy tap-in to make it 2-0. Substitutes Andrea Barzagli – 7 – Back - He came on Paul Pogba after 27 minutes and he played like a man who had not been injured for a long time. Halted a pacy Mkhitaryan run and numerous other Dortmund attacks. Alessandro Matri – N/A - He replaced Morata and got a couple of touches. Simone Pepe – N/A - Replacing Tevez after 81 minutes to make his Champions League debut.

The Bianconeri defeated Borussia Dortmund 3-0 at the Signal Iduna Park on Wednesday night to claim a 5-1 aggregate win and thus seal progression to the quarter-finals, and the former AC Milan boss stated that the result is not down to the players and staff alone. “I think the result tonight goes down to the board and the team alike,” he told Mediaset. “The boys performed well on the technical and tactical aspect, even though it’s very clear that everything becomes harder in the Champions League. “We wanted to reach the quarter-finals, and we did it, however we must improve the way in which we keep hold of the ball. “We were very organised defensively as well, we did gave away several fouls in the second half, but we also managed to intercept a few balls that caused danger.” Allegri then went on to state that his side are not thinking about the quarter-finals just yet, as well as praising forward Carlos Tevez who netted two of Juve’s goals on the night. “First let’s see who we get in the draw on Friday, then we’ll think about the next round, ” he said. “I think we possess lots of quality. “Tevez is extraordinary, the result is fully deserved, but we mustn’t stop here, we have to believe in ourselves. “When I arrived in Vinovo, I told the team there was still room for improvement even after three successful results.”

Juventus went to Westfalenstadion and came away with a 3-0 victory courtesy of a Carlos Tevez doppietta and an additional goal from Alvaro Morata. Juventus outclassed Borussia Dortmund completely, even though on many occasions Dortmund had spells of possession, they only had one shot on goal in the whole match. This was a Juventus in top form, easily handling an experienced – though to be fair, struggling – Champions League side. The game started perfectly, with Carlos Tevez essentially wrapping up the entire fixture in the third minute. His solo effort completely beat Dortmund keeper Roman Weidenfeller, who had a stinker today. Aside from saving two dangerous efforts from Morata, Weidenfeller was pretty terrible for Dortmund. Stephan Lichtsteiner even forced a save – and corner kick – with a shot from distance that Weidenfeller barely saved. Everything was working perfectly for Juventus through the first 25th minute. Then, tragedy struck. Paul Pogba and Sokratis Papastathopoulos got into a 50-50 challenge, and Pogba went down clutching his right hamstring. He would come off seconds later, with Andrea Barzagli coming on. This meant Juve switched from a 4-3-1-2 to a 3-5-2. Stay posted to JuveFC.com and @Juvefcdotcom on Twitter for updates on Pogba. Still, even the loss of Pogba couldn’t slow down Juventus. Juve did allow Dortmund to keep possession a bit more after Pogba went down, at least for the rest of the first half. Still, even when Dortmund had the ball in Juve’s half, they weren’t able to break down Juve’s defense at all. The entire Juventus side defended well as a unit, and Dortmund, for all of their skilled attacking players, really didn’t create anything. The second half started the same way the first ended, Dortmund would try to keep the ball in Juve’s half, and they would do so without making much forward progress. Then Juventus would counter or have their own run of possession. Roberto Pereyra almost created some magic in the 59th minute with a beautiful dribbling run through Dortmund’s half. Unfortunately, he played the ball to Morata a bit too late, so Morata had less of a dangerous angle on his shot, and it was saved. Throughout this time period, Juventus players were breaking or nearly breaking Dortmund’s offside trap, and exploiting their very high defensive line. This was the source of Morata’s two saved efforts, and Juve’s second goal. Claudio Marchisio fed Teves the ball, seeing Tevez could break the offside trap. Tevez also had Morata making a run in the center of the penalty box, so Tevez fed Morata the ball. Morata tapped in the ball from point blank range and Juve were up 2-0. From there, Juventus were able to control the game as Dortmund basically lost their will. Nine minutes later, Roberto Pereyra found Carlos Tevez in front of goal, and Tevez scored Juve’s third and final goal. Tevez had two goals, and Juventus had undoubtedly proven their superiority to Dortmund. It was a real masterclass performance from Juventus, everything went according to plan. Arturo Vidal played like his old world-beating self, Claudio Marchisio was excellent as a regista, and the wide players were phenomenal and added serious depth to Juve’s attack as well. Finally, the defense just suffocated Dortmund’s attack, allowing them no space or dangerous opportunities to score. Friday is the draw for the quarter-finals, so we will know then who Juve faces next in the Champions League. For now, enjoy the big victory. We’re back in the top eight of Europe.

BVB were beaten 2-1 in Turin and 3-0 on home turf in the Champions League Round of 16. “If the other team is better, it’s easy to accept defeat. Tonight we lost to a much better team,” Klopp told Mediaset. “Juventus had the perfect start and we tried to come back, but we weren’t good enough. “If you are not strong enough, then you can’t mind going out of the Champions League. We weren’t strong enough in the Bundesliga either. “We have other problems, there are some reasons why we don’t have 60 points in the League. We have to learn how to handle situations. We’re better, but not good enough yet. “We are out, now we can concentrate on the Bundesliga.” Does Klopp feel he still has more to give for Borussia Dortmund? “We are together, we win together, we lose together, that’s not the problem. It’s not our best moment, but it’s life and we have to stay in the race.”

The Old Lady knocked out the 2012/13 finalists to reach the quarter finals 5-1 on aggregate, with Argentine striker Carlos Tevez picking up two goals and an assist on the night for the Serie A leaders. “It was a perfect Juventus performance,” the Italian told Sky Sport Italia after the victory in Germany. “We had the knowledge to come here, be strong and play without fear against Dortmund.” In reaching the quarter-finals in such emphatic style, some have now tipped the Bianconeri as dark horses for the Champions League crown, having failed to make it out of the group last season. “We had the first leg advantage so we could hit them on the break and perhaps deserved even more goals. “Buffon had to make just one save, that shows our superiority. We showed great maturity. “We are in the quarter-finals: now comes the fun part, fearing no one and with a great team.”

The Bianconeri won the first leg 2-1 and triumphed 3-0 at the Westfalenstadion to reach the Champions League quarter-finals. They go into the draw with PSG, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Porto, Monaco, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. “I am here to give the just tribute to Massimiliano Allegri, who at the start of the season was welcomed with scepticism, yet has continued our winning trend,” director general Marotta told Sport Mediaset. “We are top of the Serie A table and into the Champions League quarter-finals. He and the squad deserve all the credit for achieving this qualification with hard work. “It took courage for Allegri to come here and the club had full faith in him. Antonio Conte won and it is right to remember what he won, but it is also right to underline what Allegri is doing.” Does this mean that Juventus will soon sign a contract extension with the Coach? “Right now let’s enjoy this wonderful night and focus on the imminent targets, including the Coppa Italia semi-final where we must overcome a negative first leg result.”

The Bianconeri secured a crushing 5-1 aggregate victory, including 3-0 at the Westfalenstadion, to reach the quarter-finals. “The work was done all together between the club, team and Coach. The players allowed nothing to Borussia and I think over two legs they only had one real shot on target,” he told Sport Mediaset. “It is an important result for Italian football, especially in the way it came about. This squad has everything needed to play even better than they did tonight. “Obviously you go against sides of great quality and technique at this level, but the lads, the club and the fans all showed they are up to it. “We can and must improve in terms of passing and game management. We above all did well in the second half. There was a moment of confusion when Paul Pogba went off for Andrea Barzagli. “In general we were tactically astute and didn’t give away many free kicks either, apart from early on with Arturo Vidal.” Carlos Tevez scored twice this evening and set up Alvaro Morata for a tap-in. “We’ll see how the draw goes and then play our games. It is our duty to believe, just as we believed going into this round, as the team has great physical and tactical qualities. “The defence can play with three or four, while everyone moved well and Tevez is an extraordinary striker. Not only does he score goals, but he also helps his teammates and works for the midfield too. “It is a deserved victory, but we still look forward and can do even better.” Allegri only arrived at Juventus a couple of days into pre-season training when Antonio Conte suddenly resigned. Is this qualification a personal victory for him over the critics? “The first day I arrived at Vinovo, I said this team could improve a lot after three years of great results. Of course four at the back means developing the play differently, but the important thing is that everyone takes part and doesn’t just stick to their positions. “I always believed this team could comfortably play with four at the back, as few sides in Europe have the players Juve do. I think this tactical versatility is a big advantage.”

Gianluigi Buffon 7.0 - Precious little to do, but when he was called upon, he made his saves with ease. Marshalled his defence really well. Stephan Lichtsteiner 7.0 - Showed incredible restraint, timed his tackles well, kept Mkhitaryan very quiet. Defensively perfect, didn’t get forward as much as he usually does, but that was only to be expected. Leonardo Bonucci 8.0 - A near perfect display in the centre of defence. Tackled, shoved, barged and formed a black and white wall at the back. Kept Reus in his back pocket for 90 mins. Giorgio Chiellini 8.0 - Put his mistake from the first leg behind him. Superb positioning, time and again. Vocal in managing the defenders around him. A leaders performance. Patrice Evra 8.0 - Showed exactly why Juve bought him in the summer. His experience told throughout. Made some great tackles, worked brilliantly in tandem with Chiellini and even managed an assist for the opener. Arturo Vidal 8.5 - Arguably his best performance of the season for Juve. An old-fashioned, hard-tackling display. Tracked up and down the pitch for the full 90, never slowing down. Immense. Claudio Marchisio 8.0 - No Pirlo. No Problem. Principino kept the side ticking over, completing 86% of his passes, shielding the defence and moving the ball forward when he could. Spectacular. Paul Pogba N/A - Made a great start but injured early on and was replaced by Barzagli. Roberto Pereyra 7.0 - Hard-working display, if not overly effective, but his role changed after Pogba’s injury and he sat in midfield and defended as well as the rest. Carlos Tevez 9.5 - Absolutely rampant. Took his first goal with a sublime finish, unselfishly set up Morata for the second and finished Dortmund off with a perfectly placed third to put Juve 3-0. Alvaro Morata 8.5 - Exceptional display from the youngster. Could easily have scored twice before finally getting his goal and Juve’s second, with a simple tap in. Caused the Dortmund defence all kinds of problems with fast running on the counter Substitutes Andrea Barzagli 7.5 - Didn’t look like a player who has spent 8 months recovering from an injury. Sat in at the back and calmly and cooly kept Dortmund at bay. Made the best tackle of the night to deny Dortmund on the counter. Alessandro Matri N/A Simone Pepe N/A

Max Allegri leads the Old Lady through to the Champions League quarter-finals thanks to a 5-1 aggregate triumph. The Bianconeri won the first leg 2-1, but Andrea Pirlo, Martin Caceres, Kwadwo Asamoah and Romulo were sidelined. Jurgen Klopp dropped Ciro Immobile to the bench against his old club and opted for Sokratis Papastathopoulos at right-back. It was the perfect start for Juve, as Carlos Tevez suddenly unleashed an absolute screamer from 25 metres out that flew into the near top corner. Roman Weidenfeller had no chance of stopping that wonderstrike. Remarkably, Apache had failed to score in four European campaigns, but this was his fifth of the current season. Stephan Lichtsteiner hit a similar effort, but more central, which Weidenfeller punched out from under the bar. Arturo Vidal went into a few too many sliding tackles and received a talking-to from the referee. Paul Pogba was forced off by a muscular problem and Andrea Barzagli came on, changing the system to three at the back. Borussia Dortmund poured on the pressure and pinned Juve back, but struggled to create actual chances, as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scuffed a shot wide. Oliver Kirch, who had been tipped to start, came on for the second half, moving Sokratis Papastathopoulos to the left. Borussia continued to pour on pressure, but Weidenfeller had to stick up a hand to deny Morata, sent clear one-on-one by Tevez. Morata had another great opportunity set up for him by Roberto Pereyra, but Weidenfeller parried the low drive with his foot. Buffon’s first genuine save was to easily smother a Kevin Kampl effort on 63 minutes, then Neven Subotic’s deflected strike whistled wide from distance. Morata did get his goal eventually, though it was laid out on a plate for him by Tevez. The Argentine sprung the offside trap on a Claudio Marchisio ball over the top – kept in play by Jakub Blaszczykowski – and drew Weidenfeller out before rolling across for Morata to tap into an empty net. Buffon did have to beat away an Adrian Ramos header, but Juve added a third in Dortmund when Pereyra threaded through for Tevez, who didn’t hesitate when smashing his finish past Weidenfeller. This was the first time in his Champions League career that Tevez had actively contributed to three goals in a single game. Leonardo Bonucci landed awkwardly on his shoulder in the final minute, but was able to play on through the pain.

Carlos Tevez scored early on in the game before setting up Alvaro Morata for his side’s second, the Argentine then put the icing on the cake with a third goal late on in the second half to ensure progression. Juve started the game off in exquisite style when Tevez’s stunning long-range strike found the back of Roman Weidenfeller’s net. Despite Dortmund seeing more of the ball, Stephan Lichtsteiner came close to making it 2-0 when his attempt from distance was kept out by the hosts’ goalkeeper. However, things got troubled for the Bianconeri when Paul Pogba was replaced by Andrea Barzagli due to sustaining an injury in a clash with Die Schwarzgelben defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos. The 2013 Champions League runners-up could’ve had their opener, when the ball was played through to Ilkay Gundogan, but Ginaluigi Buffon was able to prevent it from materialising. Bianconeri summer signing Alvaro Morata came agonisingly close to finishing off the tie early on in the second half, when he latched onto Tevez’s perfectly weighted pass, however his attempted chip was kept out by Weidenfeller. The 2014 World Cup winner was once again called into action minutes later, denying Morata from close range. Kevin Kampl attempted to tie the scoreline soon after, but his left-footed shot from outside the penalty area was saved by Buffon. Teammate Neven Subotic was next to try his luck from distance, and his deflected effort from outside the penalty are went inches wide of the post. Morata made up for his two misses earlier by scoring his side’s second goal, having been left with an easy tap-in after some great work by Tevez to set up the Spaniard. The Argentine international got his name on the scoresheet soon after to wrap up Juve’s progression to quarter-finals, when his powerful finish found Weidenfeller’s net for the second time on the night.

Tevez's stunning long-range strike gave the Italians an early lead before the Argentine presented strike partner Alvaro Morata with a simple finish to double the advantage in the second half. Dortmund's hopes of progression were in tatters but Tevez added a final flourish, driving home his second and Juventus' third late on to seal a 5-1 win on aggregate. The German side gave themselves a good chance of progression after taking an away goal from a narrow 2-1 defeat in Italy a fortnight ago but the hosts were second best throughout at Signal Iduna Park. Their prospects suffered a heavy blow within just three minutes as Tevez received possession 25 yards out and unleashed a stinging shot that flew past Roman Weidenfeller and into the top left-hand corner of the net. The early breakthrough seemed to knock the home side's confidence and Juventus almost doubled their advantage after the quarter-hour mark when Stephan Lichtsteiner again tested Weidenfeller with an effort from distance but this time the Dortmund goalkeeper was able to punch the swerving shot clear. Dortmund gradually established a foothold in the contest but struggled to convert possession into chances and apart from set-pieces, Jurgen Klopp's men were restricted to optimistic shots from range. Juventus eased through the rest of the first period and Morata should have wrapped up the tie early in the second when he was twice sent clear, but on both occasions he failed to beat Weidenfeller, who was quick to close down the shots. The Spaniard made no mistake in the 70th minute, however, as Dortmund's defence was caught out by another ball over the top and as Weidenfeller rushed out, Tevez generously slid the ball across for the young striker to side-foot into an empty net. Dortmund's misery was compounded nine minutes later when Tevez latched onto Arturo Vidal's neat pass and he slammed the ball home to wrap up an excellent individual display and seal his side's place in the last eight.

Mar 18, 2015 Carlos Tevez was at his brilliant best as Juventus stormed into the quarter-finals of the Champions League by beating Borussia Dortmund 3-0 at Signal Iduna Park to progress 5-1 on aggregate. The Argentina international, who also scored in Juve's 2-1 victory in the last-16 first-leg tie in Turin, caught goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller off guard in the early stages of Wednesday's contest at Signal Iduna Park. Tevez then played in Alvaro Morata, also on the scoresheet in Turin three weeks ago, to tap home the second with 20 minutes remaining. The former Manchester City man drilled home a third in the 79th minute to cap off a fine individual performance and reward Juve's counter-attacking masterclass, as they completed a 5-1 aggregate win. It was no less than the Serie A champions deserved, with Massimiliano Allegri's men excelling particularly after the break - Weidenfeller twice forced to deny Morata before his goal. For Juve, progression to the last eight will go some way to silencing the doubters who have voiced claims that they have been largely unable to replicate their domestic form in Europe, on the back of their Champions League group-stage exit in 2013-2014. The Champions League has provided some respite for a Dortmund side who have struggled for much of the Bundesliga this campaign, and their exit now means that participation in Europe's premier club competition next season is highly unlikely. Juventus opened the scoring in the third minute in some style. Tevez collected Morata's pass 25 yards from goal and Dortmund goalkeeper Weidenfeller was late to react as the Argentine striker's fierce effort flew into the left-hand corner. Having found the goal, Juve seemed content to protect their lead, although Stephan Lichtsteiner also tried his luck from range - Weidenfeller this time up to the task. The visitors were dealt a blow just before the half-hour mark, when an apparent hamstring injury saw Paul Pogba replaced by Andrea Barzagli. Dortmund looked more threatening after the Frenchman was taken off, but a series of set-pieces and crosses into the box were dealt with well by Juve's defence - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's flashed shot the best the hosts had to show. The Germans failed to register a shot on target in the first half and they were fortunate not to be 2-0 down five minutes after the restart. Tevez evaded several Dortmund challenges before slipping Morata in one-on-one, with the Spaniard attempting a deft chip over Weidenfeller that the goalkeeper blocked. Morata again wasted a great chance to give Juve clear daylight, the former Real Madrid man collecting Roberto Pereyra's ball on the right of the penalty area and forcing Weidenfeller to save with his legs. The third time proved a charm in the 70th minute, though, as Tevez sprung the offside trap before unselfishly squaring for Morata to provide the tap-in. And Tevez was celebrating again with 11 minutes remaining, collecting Arturo Vidal's throughball before his angled drive across Weidenfeller nestled in the back of the net to complete a comfortable win.

Klopp si é complimentato sorridente con tutti gli juventini.

Bonucci a terra

Dite alla Merkel che i tedeschi non sono superiori a nessuno.

L'hanno capito tardi.

AUF WIEDERSEHEN!

Contro gli Italiani perdono sempre.
