Spurs once again let Dortmund have plenty of time on the ball, they're happy to sit back and try to make it to half-time.

HALF-TIME
Dortmund 0 - 0 Tottenham (0-3 agg)
As expected Borussia Dortmund have thrown everything at Spurs in the first 45 minutes and are unlucky not to have at least one goal to their name. Son had the best chance for the visitors but the match is still goalless and with only 45 minutes left in the tie Tottenham are looking good for a quarter-final place.
Real Madrid 0 - 2 Ajax (2-3 agg)
There's a real belter happening at the Bernabeu as Ajax have scored two cracking goals and overcome a goal deficit to lead the tie. There have been chances at both ends but Real Madrid have failed to find the net as of yet. Expect more of the same in the second half.
