Klopp’s men cruise into the quarter-finals.
Bundesliga title holders Borussia Dortmund overcame Shakhtar Donetsk 3-0 in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 second leg clash on Tuesday night to advance to the last eight of Europe’s premier club competition for the first time since 1998.
The German giants had drawn the first leg in Ukraine 2-2 three weeks ago and made a great start to the second leg by taking a 2-0 lead before half time.
Firstly, big defender Felipe Santana headed home powerfully from a right wing corner to open the scoring, before Germany international midfield player Mario Goetze doubled the home side’s advantage with a neatly taken finish.
And the tie was all over as a contest when Poland international right back Jakub Blaszczykovski took advantage of a goalkeeping mistake to make it 3-0 to the hosts in the second period, with Dortmund deservedly making it through to the quarter-finals 5-2 on aggregate.
