Borussia Dortmund overcame a 2-1 deficit from the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Atleti, winning 4-2 on the night and 5-4 on aggregate. Borussia Dortmund have, at times, been pretty difficult to watch this season. Not only have the results been below expectations, but the performances have been mediocre, and the way BVB have approached games has only made their games more of an endurance event for fans. That was not the case last night, as BVB came out from the first whistle looking to make up for their poor performance in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Atlético Madrid and ultimately coming away as 4-2 winners on the night, giving them a 5-4 victory across the whole tie. Atleti also made for an excellent sparring partner, threatening BVB in transition and, after half-time adjustments, even momentarily swinging the tie back in their favour. However, BVB were a match for their Spanish opponents and, as a result, came out on top on the night. It was an excellent football game, and Borussia Dortmund performed well. The victory secures their place in the Champions League semi-finals, where they will face Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the month.
