With a complete victory over Dortmund, Tottenham entered the Champions League quarter-finals

In the first leg at Wembley Stadium, they defeated the powerful team from Germany with a score of 3-0. If they do not lose by less than 3 goals, the team from the foggy country will have a ticket to play in the quarter-finals.

That confidence is even stronger when Harry Kean has recovered from injury and returned to combine with Son Heung-min to create a perfect attacking duo for Tottenham Hotspur.

With Dortmund at this time, the black and yellow team is falling into crisis, from the leading position in Bundesliga, they have been equalized in points by rival Bayern after 24 rounds and are showing signs of slowing down, having drawn 3 consecutive matches.

With Tottenham leading 3-0 in the first leg, coach Lucien Favre and his team have an extremely difficult task if they want to turn the tables. The only support left is their home ground Signa Iduna Park along with the return of conductor Marco Reus after injury.

With the home advantage, coach Lucien Favre Dormund's players pushed up their formation and dominated the match from the start. The English team spent the first 10 minutes confused when facing the high-speed pressing style of the opponent. However, with their inherent confidence, Tottenham Hotspur soon equalized the game and began to respond to the home team's field.

Tottenham's clearest chance came in the 31st minute when Son Heung-min's shot missed the goal in a face-to-face with goalkeeper Burki. The yellow-black team's chances only really came in the 34th and 37th minutes when Weigl and Sancho had two dangerous shots but could not beat Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

At the end of the first half, the two teams tied with a score of 0-0.

Entering the second half, with their backs to the wall, Dortmund players eagerly pushed up their formation to look for a goal to ignite their hope of advancing. However, before the goal came, they conceded another goal after Harry Kean's cool finish in the 48th minute of the match, 1 - 0 for Tottenham.

Difficulties piled up, as the aggregate score was now 4-0 for the English team. The task of scoring 5 goals against Tottenham and not conceding another in just the remaining 40 minutes of the second half was impossible.

Dortmund struggled to find a consolation goal before their Champions League exit, but Tottenham did not allow them to do so. Goalkeeper Lloris had a good day with many excellent saves for Tottenham.

For Dormund, the home advantage did not help them in this match. The return of midfielder Marco Reus was a bright spot for the German team, when this player had a few assists and a shot, but that was not enough to revive a Borussia Dortmund that played in a deadlock and lacked ideas.

The match ended, at home Dortmund was defeated convincingly by the representative from England with a score of 0-1.

Tottenham won 4-0 on aggregate and booked their place in the quarter-finals. Next up was Dutch side Ajax Amsterdam, who won the second leg at Real Madrid 1-4 after losing the first leg 2-1.
