Spurs 4 - Dortmund 0 over two legs. Dortmund have averaged well over 3 goals per games in recent times. They got none over 2 games against Spurs.

If that's boring, then bring it on.

They certainly had loads more chances than Spurs, they only lacked the quality to finish you.

Atletico are now favourites to win it IMO. If it weren't for Madrid, they'd have won it already, as they're tailor made for this competition. Madrid were as opportunistic as them, but simply had more quality and luck on their side.

Juventus are also that kind of team, but there's a sense of them being lulled into complacency by domestic superiority, and lacking that spark to make it count at the very end, when it really matters.

City are playing the best football in Europe, but teams like them don't thrive in this competition. Guardiola's Barcelona played probably the most dominant football ever, and just managed 2/4.

Barcelona have become more cynical these days, but they're never be true experts at winning ugly, and that's what cups are all about. Can also see Liverpool winning it if they manage to get past Bayern.

But maybe it's time for an unlikely winner and the end of an apparent predictability of latter years. I guess that's the charm of this competition.

I would put City and Liverpool as favourites for the trophy now.
 
How much of this Ajax team were present for their Europa run in 2017?
 
What a night for the travelling fans. They won't forget that anytime soon.

Dortmund have won trophies in the last 10 years. How many have Spurs won? None.
 
Great result for Ajax, and deservedly so.

Bet a lot of people are thinking now they'd love to face them in the QFs should their team get there, myself included.
 
Congratulations to Ajax - a tremendous result.

We were pretty dull tonight in fairness, and have been in our last few games.

Buuuuut who cares, we're in a CL quarter final.
