Borussia Dortmund ended up coming through their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 clash with Lille to earn a place in the quarter-final, where they’ll face off with Barcelona.

After the first leg ended 1-1 at the Bundesliga side’s Signal Iduna Park, BVB had to come from behind at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy home of Ligue 1 Lille in order to make it to the quarter-finals after they conceded an early goal courtesy of Canada international Jonathan David.

However, two second-half goals ensured Niko Kovač’s team would not play their final game of the 2024/25 Champions League campaign in Hauts-de-France.

Dortmund’s counterpressing was a key factor in the German side’s victory on Wednesday evening.
