    We have not seen anything of Marco Reus for Dortmund yet. He has been influential for Dortmund of late. His latest run is ended near the area with a thumping tackle.

    Schmelzer is fouled near the box and the BVB will have a chance to deliver from a good area.

    Juve have a number of players on yellow cards who could miss the next round, so I'll keep you in the loop on if any of those five players face a spell in the sideline.

  2. GREAT SAVE!published at 20:03 Greenwich Mean Time 18 March 2015

    Juventus are bang on the bulls eye tonight. Phil 'The Power' Taylor doesn't have this accuracy.

    This time it is Stephan Lichtsteiner advancing down the right and with a swing of his right peg he missiles one at the top corner, forcing Roman Weidenfeller into a one-handed save.

  3. GET INVOLVEDpublished at 20:01 Greenwich Mean Time 18 March 2015

    Send us your views on this game tonight. Will either of these sides go all the way? Juventus have not won the competition since 1996. That seems a remarkably long wait for such a decorated club. Their year this year?

    Marchisio, to Pogba, to Tevez, Juve move the ball nicely even without Andrea Pirlo.

    Time is ticking and they have yet to be threatened. Marcel Schmelzer at left-back for Dortmund goes long and diagonal but to no one. A poor decision. This night could be a long one for home fans at this rate. Jurgen Klopp will need to be at his inspirational best.

    Alvaro Morata and Carlos Tevez caused Dortmund all sorts of problems in the first leg and look likely to do so again. The pair are fluid in their movement and can capitalise as the home side commit forward here.

    Henrikh Mkhitaryan is busy again for Dortmund but gets well held up near the Juve area. He receives it again and brings a full-back into play. Juve are behind the ball and deep on their 18-yard box. They force a desperate pass and it's a goal kick.

  6. Defensive expertspublished at 19:55 Greenwich Mean Time 18 March 2015

    Borussia Dortmund may boast the 'yellow wall' of support at their home stadium but they are possibly coming up against a brick wall of a defence tonight.

    Juventus enter this fixture with back-to-back clean sheets in the league and know another would guarantee them a quarter-final place.

    The Old Lady sit top of Serie A by 14 points and have only conceded 14 goals in the league this season. With 27 games played, that's just a tad worse than only leaking one goal in two games.

    "I don't think it will end 0-0," said Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri before kick-off. He wasn't wrong.

    What a start for Juventus. The ultimate nerve settler. Dortmund respond with some pressure but they are not creating anything clear-cut.

    Henrikh Mkhitaryan forces a corner. Juve's black and white shirts are imposing, like zebras at the zoo. Well organised zebras though. They have a rigid shape without possession.

  8. GOALpublished at 19:48 Greenwich Mean Time 18 March 2015

    Did that mural and mosaic behind the goal work in intimidating Juventus? This massive away goal says no.

    It's Carlos Tevez and it's a bang from 30 yards. He had time to lift his head, put the laces through it and as the ball moved in the air Roman Weidenfeller got none of it. The keeper seems slow to react, Tevez is already racing to the corner flag to celebrate while the big stopper contemplates what happened.

    Take nothing away from the former Manchester City striker. A real whack.

  9. CLOSE!published at 19:48 Greenwich Mean Time 18 March 2015

    Lots of noise from home support but can it be silenced? Alvaro Morata races through midfield and has options left and right, he chooses the latter and Carlos Tevez... cross-shot is hooked clear in the six-yard box.

  10. The greatest challenge in footballpublished at 19:47 Greenwich Mean Time 18 March 2015

    The greatest challenge in football. What is it?

    Arsenal making the last-eight of this competition? Having more possession than Barcelona? England's national team winning a tournament?

    "We face the greatest challenge there is in football, to score against an Italian team which will advance with a 0-0 draw," said Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp.

    "We conceded on the counterattack in Turin, but they also had other chances in the second half. They are incredibly experienced, very clever; but not unbeatable."

    Here we go then. No pressure lads. Just a place in the quarter-final up for grabs.

    Wow.

    As the teams emerge from the tunnel, Juventus are having their memories jogged.

    Home fans have a mosaic behind the goal which simply reads '97' as they thrust their 1997 Champions League final win over the Italian side into the front of visiting memories.

    The mural I outlined in the previous entry then raises from behind the goal. It's like Punch 'n Judy but bigger and far more glitzy,

    Can Borussia Dortmund go all the way to the Champions League final in Berlin? They made it to Wembley in 2013 remember.

    Or will their hopes disappear into darkness as this efficient Juventus side seek a first appearance in the continent's showpiece final since 2003.

    Dortmund will be roared on by a passionate home support tonight. Expect flares, lots of yellow and wonderfully crafted banners. An early glimpse inside the stadium this afternoon spoiled the surprise awaiting Juventus.

    Home fans have created a huge mural behind the goal of Lars Ricken celebrating 1997 European Cup success. The BVB beat Juve 3-1 in Munich.

    If Juventus are to progress they will need to do it without their swaggering playmaker Andrea Pirlo. The stylish Italian left the field with an injury in the first meeting of these sides with a calf problem and has not played since.

    Claudio Marchisio is expected to fulfil his role. Dortmund make three changes from the first leg with the main being Kevin Kampl's inclusion in their attacking midfield as Ciro Immobile drops to the bench against his old club.

    Borussia Dortmund XI: Weidenfeller, Sokratis, Subotic, Hummels, Schmelzer, Bender, Gundogan, Mkhitaryan, Reus, Kampl, Aubameyang.

    Juventus XI: Buffon, Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Chiellini, Evra, Vidal, Marchisio, Pogba, Pereyra, Tevez, Morata.

    "Five years ago, our economy had suffered a collapse greater than almost any country. "Today, I can confirm: in the last year we have grown faster than any other major advanced economy in the world."

    George Osborne's budget speech was almost a polar opposite for the performance of our own British clubs in Europe. Five years ago UK clubs relished the latter stages of this tournament, now not so much.

    Chelsea rumbled. Liverpool mauled. Arsenal gallantly inept. Manchester City with everything bar their little toe out of the tournament's exit door.

    Through to the last eight: Real Madrid, Paris St-Germain, Bayern Munich, Porto, Atletico Madrid, Monaco.

    So Europe is Great Britain free (well almost as Man City cling on). Will Italy have a last eight representative? Or is Germany set to double up.

    Tax on beer is to be cut by a penny and cider duty trimmed by two pence, there is to be less tax on your wages, and now a Champions League bonanza to end the day. You jammy lot.

    "Britain is walking tall again" declared chancellor George Osborne in his budget. Not in the Champions League it isn't.

    Europe's biggest football stage feels like a private boys' club for sides outside of UK shores this year and either Juventus or Borussia Dortmund will cling on to a place among the elite tonight.

    Let's see what they've got. Any star players who fancy a move to England? Surely tax-free interest on their first £1,000 savings will attract these millionaires to the UK.

    Maybe not...
