Dortmund sealed their place in the last eight by defeating Shakhtar Donetsk 3-0 in the second leg of their round-of-16 clash on Tuesday.

The German champions dominated the encounter at Signal Iduna Park from start to finish, with goals from Felipe Santana, Mario Goetze and Jakub Blaszczykowski sending the Bundesliga champions through to the last eight by a 5-2 aggregate scoreline.

“The first two goals made us very calm and, after the third goal, we played magnificently.”
