Borussia Dortmund fought back to reach the Champions League quarter-finals for the second year in a row as second-half goals by Emre Can and Maximilian Beier gave them a deserved 2-1 win at Lille in their last-16 return leg on Wednesday.

While Bayern Munich is eight points clear at the top and confirmed its domestic supremacy with a 5-0 aggregate win over Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League, Borussia Dortmund is 10th and will likely need a big late-season surge to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

Lille will be aiming to reach the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time ever, as they host last year's runners-up Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of this last Round of 16 clash.  The French Ligue 1 team fought back to earn a 1-1 draw at Signal Iduna Park in last Tuesday's first leg with Hákon Arnar Haraldsson's second half strike cancelling out Karim Adeyemi's earlier goal.

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl was clearly relieved after his team advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals and drew new motivation for the rest of the Bundesliga season. Dortmund advanced after a 2-1 win against Lille in the second leg of their last 16 tie.

Borussia Dortmund are no longer the club where Europe's best youngsters develop but that doesn't seem to matter in the Champions League. Success in that competition can't entirely obscure the club's issues.
