Juventus have eased their way into the quarter-finals of the Champions League courtesy of a comfortable 5-1 aggregate victory over Borussia Dortmund in their last-16 clash.
The Serie A giants went into tonight's second leg in Germany with a 2-1 lead, and a brace from Tevez helped the Old Lady to a 3-0 victory on the night.

It took just three minutes for the visitors to get an away goal, and it came in style as Tevez fired a powerful effort into the top corner from 25 yards.
That proved to be the highlight of a tight first half, with Stephan Lichtsteiner's long-range effort the closest either side came to adding to the scores in the opening period.
Juventus made another quick start in the second half, however, with Tevez turning provider this time as he beat three players before setting up Alvaro Morata, whose chipped effort was kept out by Roman Weidenfeller.

The Dortmund keeper was called into action again 10 minutes into the half, denying Morata once more after the Spaniard had been slipped in by Roberto Pereyra.
It proved to be third time lucky for Morata, however, as Tevez raced on to a chipped through-ball before squaring it to the former Real Madrid man, who applied the simple finish.
The Italian champions then put the result beyond any doubt with a third goal of the evening as Tevez doubled his personally tally following good work from Pereyra to open up a 5-1 aggregate lead.
That was how it stayed as Juventus progressed into the quarter-finals of the Champions League for just the second time since 2005-06.
