After some nervy moments which saw them nearly extending their advantage, Alvaro Morata piled on the opener with a neat finish off Evra’s cross.BVB were staring down the barrel and just then Tevez added yet another strike in the 79th minute to cap off a miserable evening for the hosts.Juventus progress 5-1 on aggregate and here are the 5 talking points from the game
#1 Tevez in the form of his life
After 4 ‘fare-to-middling’ season at Manchester City, Tevez joined the Turin giants in the summer of 2013 and had an immediate impact. However, a season into his Italian inquisition, Tevez is turning out to be an even better player than anyone had expected him to be.
Prior to this game, the Argentinian had amassed 21 strikes in all competitions, assisting 7 other but added 2 more stunning strikes last night to take his tally to 23, his best since 2010/11 season.
Having scored in the first leg, Tevez was back to haunt Dortmund as he tore them apart with his searing chutzpah. A constant menace to the BVB defence, Tevez was one of the better players going forward and whether it was attempting long balls or spraying passes in the attacking third, he simply oozed class.
The former Manchester City man stole the limelight with his heroics and suffice to say, he is enjoying the form of his life.
