Borussia Dortmund for their part in this should not feel sore. They proved too tame for such an event that needed a powerful response, their attack too tame, their defence too weak. Gigi Buffon only had to make two saves tonight and they were battered in front of their most loyal of fans. This season has given them nothing to boast about but they still fared better than others in this competition. Perhaps getting knocked out is exactly what they needed to recuperate, and Marco Reus and co will go back and regroup in order to come back stronger.
However the night belonged to Juve, who will be the only Italian team to still be in the competition. This result will show Juve's progress in their quest to be amongst Europe's best or at least for the time being and Friday's draw will be greatly anticipated by Allegri & Co as to what challenge lies ahead.
