Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp tried to play down expectations, but admitted it was "extremely cool" to be in the Champions League quarterfinals after its 3-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday in their last-16, second-leg clash.
Having drawn 2-2 in Ukraine three weeks ago in the first leg, Borussia went through 5-2 on aggregate as goals by Felipe Santana, Mario Goetze and Jakub "Kuba" Blaszczykowski capped the German champion's dominant display.
After the defeat, Shakhtar coach Mircea Lucescu repeated his bold prediction that the winner of this tie will reach the final at Wembley on May 25 and said he hopes Dortmund proves him right.
