Fearless Juventus Relishing Quater-Finals

Goal-scorer Alvaro Morata insists Juventus fear no-one in the draw for the Champions League’s quarterfinals after their emphatic 3-0 win at Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday.
.
Carlos Tevez scored twice as Juventus sealed a 5-1 win on aggregate in the last 16 tie as he and Morata, who had each scored in the 2-1 first-leg win, again did the damage in Dortmund.
.
Just as he had done in Turin, Tevez gave his side an early lead with a breath-taking strike to catch out the Dortmund defence.
.
After setting up Morata for a tap-in on 70 minutes, Tevez added his second and Juve’s third nine minutes later when he fired home Arturo Vidal’s pass.
.
The result means Italian league leaders Juventus join Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, AS Monaco, Paris Saint-Germain, Porto and Real Madrid in Friday’s last eight draw.
.
“There are no easy teams. But if we play like we did tonight we’ve no reason to fear anyone,” said Morata.
.
“It was a really impressive display. We defended when we needed to and struck when we had the chance to attack.
.
“It was a difficult game but the entire team tackled it in an incredible manner.”
.
Morata singled out Tevez for praise after the 31-year-old beat Dortmund’s off-side trap to give the Spaniard a simple tap-in to put the Old Lady in the last eight.
.
“It’s a dream to play with Tevez. When I was a youngster I watched him on the TV and now he sets me up to score goals,” beamed Morata.
.
Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri was delighted with this side’s display over the two legs.
.
“The most important thing for me tonight is the confidence we have shown,” said Allegri.
.
“We delivered a big technical and physical performance, we have been doing our work in Italy since the start of the season, but now we are doing it on the European stage.
.
“We put in two great matches against Dortmund and we deserve to go through.
.
“It doesn’t matter who we now meet at this level whether its Barcelona, Munich or PSG.”
.
– ‘A game to forget’ –Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp admitted the 2013 Champions League finalists had failed to bow out of this year’s competition in style having barely threatened the Juve goal.
.
“That was a game to forget, the early goal we conceded was the worst that could have happened,” said Klopp.
.
“Juve were not only clever, they played some really good football.
.
“We hardly got into good shooting positions.
.
“Every minute the opponent gained in confidence and we ended up having none.
.
“Juve were simply better than us, but they also had the perfect start after three minutes.
.
“We were too harmless. If you don’t shoot on goal, you can’t score.
.
“And we can’t blame the ball, because it flew fairly well, as you could see with the goal Tevez scored.
.
“Overall we were a bit too hesitant and that continued throughout the game.
.
“We were always chasing the ball behind and we deserved to be kicked out.”
.
Having reached the Champions League’s knock-out stages for the last three years, tenth-placed Dortmund face an uphill task to qualify for next year’s tournament as they need a top four finish in Germany’s top flight.
.
“It will be a pity if that is our last Champions League match for a year and a half,” admitted Dortmund captain Mats Hummels.
.
“We have had some wonderful evenings, but this year we have simply not had the condition to do well in the Champions League.”
