We're back under way in Lille, with 45 minutes between the hosts and a first-ever quarter final.
Can Dortmund find the net? Surely they will if they keep banging on the door.

Linked with PSG already, it feels like the 23-year-old could have his pick of the biggest clubs this summer...
Lucas Chevalier has just added 20m euros to his price tag for the summer with his first half saves! What a great young keeper!

Will Rodrygo do it yet again for Los Blancos when the lights are brightest?
Somehow, it seems he is still underrated.

The biggest game of the night is the Madrid Derby, and Real's team is out.
Luka Modrić and Jude Bellingham come into the side from last week's 2-1 first leg win, while Kylian Mbappé starts despite concerns about his fitness.

HALF TIME: Lille 1-0 Dortmund
Somehow Lille are ahead at the break despite Dortmund having numerous great chances after Jonathan David's fifth minute opener.
Lucas Chevalier has done his burgeoning reputation with a stunning goalkeeping display so far.

Can Lille keep them out all night?
Knocking on the door. KEEP. GOING.

Just to crystallise how much Dortmund have stepped up, they have had seven shots, and four on target, since Lille opened the scoring.
The hosts haven't had an effort on goal since David's strike.

HOW HAVE DORTMUND NOT SCORED?
Chevalier does brilliantly again to deny Serhou Guirassy's header from three yards out after Lille failed to deal with a corner.
After a goalmouth scramble, the ball came to Julian Brandt, who saw his low shot cleared off the line by a collection of defenders.
We have a game on our hands here.

CLOSE FOR DORTMUND!
Lille keeper Lucas Chevalier shows why he's so rated, doing well to prevent Pascal Groß from grabbing an equaliser.
2025-03-12T17:57:31Z
Dortmund have really not going yet here, with Karim Adeyemi and Serhou Guirassy not involved to date.

7th goal in just 10 Champions League games this season. A living Lille legend.

GOAL! Lille 1-0 Dortmund
The hosts are off to the dream start with their main man Jonathan David giving them the lead inside five minutes.
Ismaily broke forward from left-back after Lille picked the ball off Dortmund, and he played the ball into David, who finished with a first-time finish.
It went through the legs of Gregor Kobel, who will be very disappointed to have conceded so easily.

KICK OFF!
And we're under way in the first of four second legs.
2025-03-12T17:43:30Z
We're minutes away from kick off in a huge game for both club's - it's the biggest in Lille's European history, while for Dortmund and Niko Kovač, it's progress or bust for the season.

An even worse one for the visitors?
When Borussia Dortmund have drawn the first leg of a major European knockout tie at home, they have been eliminated in six out of seven only win was against Alania Vladikavkaz in the first round of the 1993-94 UEFA Cup.#UCL [@OptaJoe]

A bad omen for the hosts?
Lille have only won one of their 10 major European meetings with German clubs (D5 L4), beating VfL Wolfsburg 3-1 in December 2021 in the Champions three of their games with Borussia Dortmund have ended as draws.#UCL[@OptaJoe]

Our first game of the night sees Lille host Borussia Dortmund at The Stade Pierre-Mauroy with the score at 1-1. The Ligue 1 side are looking to make their first-ever quarter final, while last season's finalists are looking to keep their season alive amid a wretched domestic campaign.
